Strange starting problem ???.
« on: June 03, 2010, 08:13:04 pm »
Pulled into works car park & car cuts out like it has stalled. Turns key to re-start & nothing,only light in the clocks is the red battery symbol.Manged to roll the car to park & went back 5 mins later & same thing nothing just the red battery symbol on the clocks.
Went back 20 or so mins later & turns key & all warning light are lit in the clocks so turns key & it starts first time ???.Tried it again later & same thing started first turn ?. Very strange as i've been out a couple of times today & it's been fine & it's never done anything like this before?.
Do you think the battery could be on it's way out ?,i don't know how old it is as i got the car used. Thanks in advance. :smiley:

Sounds like the connection is loose to me. Can you not check the faults with VCDS.  :happy2:

Managed to get hold of my mate who is a techie for VW. He said it could be a faulty earth or even a loose battery lead.Will have a look when i get home but he is going to take it down to his work in a day or two & see if any faults show. :smiley:
