My car is a 2003 1.4 HDI which has done 48,000 and has been serviced regularly.

Since the original battery gave out I have had problem with starting from cold when the car has not been used for a few days - just get a clicking/bleeping sound. It has been to 2 garages and has been electronically tested twice and nobody can get to the bottom of the problem and I am told there are no faults identified. Once it has been jump started it is fine and I have had no problems when running.

A battery drain seemed to be the obvious answer but I'm told they can't find anything. Can you tell me what else I can investigate and what questions to ask my local garage with regard to what they have checked or what they might need to look at?

I am disabled and need my car to be reliable - have been at this for nearly 2 years and in a state of utter despair. Love the car and don't want to change - just want to find the answer!

Thanks

Nothing obvious like a rear bulb glowing faintly (has to be very dark to check this). Take it to an auto-electrician or get a mobile one out. The only other option involves testing the battery with a meter and pulling the fuses one-by-one until you see the drain stop.


	Down to just the 1.4 HDi. Cayman Green 2.0i CC sold.

Pulling the fuses out is not an option on a mux 206!

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile
