I think the battery on my 2000 2.5 TDI Passat has given up.
Its been sat just under a week (aside from moving it across the road once, probably 1 min run time), in the cold.
And it just wouldnt start this morning, waited for the heater and the light took some time to go out, cranked and it was a little slower, cranked for a while and never fired so started again, heater light took a long time to go out then i cranked it over, turned over slowly and i heard a relay start clicking, everything felt like it was too low on juice so i gave up.
I think that since its been sat less than a week its probably the battery.. opinions?
Is there a set way to take the battery off? will i set the alarm off or anything if i just unbolt and remove the battery a stick a new one in?
Whats the size (ah) of the recommended battery?
Cheers
