    Hi everyone...

    I have a Audi A4 b6 2003 2.0 TDI

    I love this car, it's been perfect for the 4 months that I've owned it, until, I went away for a week. When I returned my car wouldn't start, battery just didn't have enough in it. I got a friend to gget some jump leads on it and it fired up straight away...

    I took it for a drive to fill it back up and everything
    was fine.... Well until 4 days later when it wouldn't start again. I bit the bullet and nought a new battery, this gas been fine for another 4 days and then today, car started up then moved 5 metres and died !!!!

    Does anyone have any clue what can be doing this ? I've tested the alternator and it's charging at 14.8, I've checked the footwell and there us no water damage, and I've watched the hazard light and it doesn't flash.

    Please help

    Hi Rich

    Thanks alot, that's really kind if you, but I wouldn't want you to go to any trouble.
    Do you know of any good garages locally that would be on the ball with faults like this ?

    You need a auto electrician,could be the alternator discharging the battery.
