2005 HDI GTI 1.6
Hi all,
My battery reset itself 5 times whilst on a short 3 mile drive to a garage at lunch today. Reset the time and made all the needles on the dials flicker etc
Any idea what would cause this? My battery is 9 months old and is connected properly. I have used my car to jump my other car but that was a week ago.
Cheers

Might be either a loose connection or a weak one. Check the earth cabling to the gearbox this might be your problem

It was the chassis gearbox earth connection. Snapped off bar one strand of cable.
I've jubilee clipped together the two offending earths and it's worked to get to work with no issues.
Will replace the whole lot tomorrow.
Cheers
