another flat battery!!

gavbriggs · Jun 23, 2009

righty, i'm begining to get ****ed off with this car!!!

the battery keeps going flat, its not the alarm and dodgy signals. does anyone know if a lock wasnt locked and didnt work, i.e the rear passenger side, would the car constantly keep trying to lock it?

gavbriggs · Jun 23, 2009

bit to much that,2 bikkys is the going rate not three.

If i only get 2 bikkis they got to be bourbons!!

with a bit of luck it may be sorted!!! i have put a new battery on, bypassed one of the earths and put a new earth on!!! i'll need to upgrade the earths i reckon so if you have any huge earth cable hanging around with connectors it'd be appreciated!!! even throw in a packet of bourbons!!!!

VWP - battery leads

Might help ...

A bad earth won't affect the charge rate the battery needs. More likely to cause faults on the message centre or poor cranking speed.

gavbriggs · Jun 24, 2009

it would if it cant get the power in ther in the first place!!! had a mega scare, temp guage wnt all the way to red!!!! one of the earths behind ecu in engine bay was loose!!! fiddle with it and tightened it up and temp back to normal now!!! i reckon i'm gonna change the wiring!!!
