How are you seeing the car going to sleep ? Is it by looking at hazard light back lighting ?

Return the MOST system back to normal. I am certain that it's the handles that's causing the issues.

Also make sure that the battery is correctly coded to the car.. providing that the battery is a genuine VAG one and intended for your car.

The battery is coded and working. I´m sure that is not an issue here as I previously had it done by Audi

By returning the MOST back to normal you mean just leave it as it is right?

with out the loop.

But how do you explain that the car enters sleep mode when I pull a fuse?

yes return the most back to factory specs and replace the handles.. that should cure it.

On a day when your door handles have dried out, put tape across the buttons to seal them. Then wait for the rain and see if the battery drain persists

Have a look on ebay for the handles.. you can always have them repainted. Or you can get a brand new one, primed, from TPS from £96
