What else can I check on a Parasitic draw

Asked by Wendie Feb 15, 2021 at 01:12 PM about the 2001 Volkswagen Beetle GLS 2.0

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 01 Beetle that has a parasitic draw, when you shut off the engine you can hear a hissing on the left side of the engine, so if I dont unhook the battery when I park it it kills the battery, only 1 code 1473.

There are tutorials online on how to find a parasitic drain. You need a multi meter which you can get for ten or twenty bucks.
