Audi 5000 Battery Drain
I have a 1986 Audi 5000 Turbo Quattro, 348,000km, the battery is by my ampmeter showing 0.144A being drawn, radio and clock are drawing current, Switch on dome light in front of sunroof is set on the "lights on when door is opened" position. After 2 days I can still start the car, after 4 days battery is dead. CAA Battery from November 2017.

The ignition switch is a known part to fail, The one on my V8 failed and was leaving some components still drawing power and it would not start after 2 or 3 days. If you could unplug the switch and leave it unplugged for 4 or 5 days and then see if it will start.
