wat kind of sound ur heard..wind sound / engine sound..
mine sometime can hear wind noise when travelled around 80km beside driver side

Did you guys experience rattle sound from exhaust pipe when start engine/engine start after idle stop/at 15-11kmh before enter idle stop.

How old is your car? Battery goes weak in just 2 weeks? I had my 7 months car parked 3 weeks plus without getting weak 12v battery problem.

What i normally do before leaving the car for long undriven period is to make sure the ima battery is fully charged (by force charging: rev to above 2.5k rpm when car in neutral gear). I personally believe that rechargeable batteries are better kept in state of full charge when they are going to be unused for long period.

When i return after 3 weeks and start the car for first time, it starts by the ima motor rather than the 12v starter. It will only use the 12v starter to crank up the engine if your ima battery is completely flat. And when i check the ima battery level, it remain full, so not much self discharge during the 3 weeks of storage.

I guess the above does not apply if your car has been added with some aftermarket accessories that could possibly draw a lot of standby current even when you car being left undriven. That may suck your 12v battery flat in 2 weeks. Bear in mind that even if your ima battery contain charge, your car would still not be able to start if the 12v battery is flat, as all the relay, controller and computer system in the car runs from the 12v subsystem rather than the ima.

Of course, if you have he luxury of finding a shaded carpark for the car for long period of storage, it will be better not only for the battery but also the paintwork, plastic parts and interior furnishing, considering our extremely hot tropical sun.
