Guest SG1 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ok guys,just went to start car-pump primed ok,fan came on as usual but absolutely nothing when I turned key to fire her up. Lights work,heater works,and I guess as central locking does too,this isn`t totally a battery problem? Tried a boost starter box and still nothing. Has new plugs,leads are few months old and all connected. Any ideas? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SG1 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well I had it jump started and it was fine so I think the booster is going in the bin lmao New battery on payday see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dangerousdave28 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I had the same problem the other day on my mk6, turned out to be a loose relay in the fuse box (small yellow one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SG1 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ok I wil check the relays and see what`s there that it could be but I reckon it`s just battery. Will keep you posted,thought yesterday I started her and she struggled but got there in the end. Am looking into rewiring some of me engine bay so may be a great help-starter,alternator,battery etc. We shall see....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SG1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Well,I needed a jump start again yesterday so I have put a battery from a 2.8 Capri in that I got off a mate. Started well this morning,in fact it was bursting with life so we shall see how things go now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ANDYA Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Try overnight charging your battery. This time of year we take out much more than we put in. It will be cheaper than a new battery. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
