FLAT BATTERY SYMPTOMS,,leave 4 a while and she starts,,,, wot the hell can this be,, any ideas/// angus hi mate when you say flat battery do you mean it just clicks if so you'll find it's a battery problem.you'll find the imobiliser has triggered because of a low battery and after left for say 30 mins etc the battery will regain on it's own and the imobiliser says its ok and lets you start the car i had this problem with my mk6 and i cured it with a new one. i hope this helps ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
