Guest pipefitter Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 My son is having a lot of problems with his Mk6 cab.Its been fine up untill a few weeks ago. His car runs OK for a few days then completly cuts out and is unable to restart only with jump leads.Bought and fitted a new battery on the advise of the breakdown recovery driver about a month ago.Its run Ok up till afew days ago , started cutting out again.Fitted a second hand alternator on the advise of another breakdown recovery driver 2 days ago. Problem still happening.It, in his own words chugs then cuts out.when I was with him after his first breakdown it sounded like the starter motor was jamed it clicked when he turned the ignition key to try and start.Any help would be gratefull.

Guest markeyboy Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 sounds like the alternator is playing up, same thing happened to mine, check the main charging lead from the alternator to the battery, if not chect to see if you havnt put another duff alternator on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
