Possible battery issue ??

[Tay]

After a long weekend of being ill and having man flu I went to start my car and all I had was a clicking sound and that was about it, clearly the battery wasnt a happy camper.

Only thing I can remember leaving on was my ipod classic 5th gen.. everything else was normal.

I took it back to the place I bought it several weeks ago (After getting a mechanic friend to help jump start it), I mentioned about it possibly being a dud battery but they said it wasnt the battery as it was new before I bought it. They put it on charge and 2-3 days later it was 100% and everything seemed normal.

I drove the car yesterday to work and all seemed ok, at lunch I was going to go out for a spin and the battery low indicator flashed up on screen briefly.

I'm now worried that its a dud and I'll get stranded somewhere.

I fixed up an old scuffy laptop I had (I use Macs at home and there is no client), an associate had a Virtual machine with an older version of the VCDS software on it 9.08 I think. I borrowed his cable and was able to grab some info out of it.

I'm a VCDS newb but willing to give it a go

I've done a scan and its found tons of stuff, much seemed to be related to low voltage..would it be appropriate to post somewhere else on these forums or here? Or should I just speak to the garage type chaps and let them know the findings?

Thanks

Go for it. Post here

Get the battery tested somewhere else. Find out its voltages when its running and been stood for a while. Check the battery drain level, all these can be done with a simple multimeter.

Regarding VAGCOM, many of your faults will have been triggered by the flat battery so clear them all, drive the car and rescan it again then post up your findings.

ok

I'll try to keep it short, I dont think it has had the codes done for a while as there is quite a few older ones in it.

There is a repeating theme which worries me..

According to a test I did (there was some tick boxes to show up to 12 elements, I'm a newb remember) the battery showed 70% which is a worry, I wasnt able to export the data for some reason, I'll grab a screen shot next time.

Any help offered would be appreciated.

Get the battery tested somewhere else. Find out its voltages when its running and been stood for a while. Check the battery drain level, all these can be done with a simple multimeter.

Regarding VAGCOM, many of your faults will have been triggered by the flat battery so clear them all, drive the car and rescan it again then post up your findings.

14 and a bit volts when engine running, last time I checked the battery was around the 12.4x volt mark idle.

Will try to figure out how to clear the faults and try again, I'll have some time this weekend. Alas I need the car for work so keen for it not to die. got a 40 mile run into work tomorrow hopefully can get a bit fo a charge in it.

Clear all the faults, drive it and start again. Its the only way you'll make any progress with that huge list as the battery problem will have caused many of them.

The battery meter isnt know for being 100% accurate. I'd check the battery drain and if possible have it load tested by a garage who know what they are doing!

If MMI version is an older one, then the radio can stay on and draw power from battery when car is parked, see this service bulletin - http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/3/...b.91-07-13.pdf, and update to latest MMI version, which updates radio to fix fault. I had same problem and this fixed it, nothing to do with battery, it was a software fault that was causing the battery to drain.

I'm smiling now, but I wasn't a couple of hours ago, battery was dead as a horrible dead thing.

The wife called the garage as I was on the road, had to use her car, thank god she was off this week for half term.

She called them and was uttering the immortal words "He's not happy, feels let down" etc etc..

The garage are sending somebody to collect the car today. Given the fact the battery was given a pretty healthy charge, I have only done 40 mile plus journey's since then, bar a single instance of turning it around in a car park for the windscreen to be replaced, I can only assume the battery or charging circuit is crapped out.

Alternator "appears" to charge the battery while the engine is running, pushing 14+ volts through it, not had a chance to measure the drain yet though.

I'll report back as an when something happens.

Thanks,

I think I'm running the latest version now, 5570 was updated a couple of weeks ago. I did kind of think my ipod might have caused it too, but its not been connected for over a week now.

If it does prove to be battery then I'll be a bit concerned as I'll have little faith in the garage/dealer I got it from. I note that my car still has not been picked up from my house though!!..

[skidmarks]

Did they collect it? What's the verdict?
