Hi Everyone,

 

Wonder if someone can shed some insight into an issue I'm experiencing with my LE Octy VRS TDI.

It won't start. Only starts now and then or when bump staring down a hill. Can hear it click or turn once at least then nothing. Lights all light up as usual.

I've changed:

 

The battery 

Starter motor 

 

Not sure where to go next ?

 

 

 

 

Check all the big electrical wire connections from the battery to the starter motor, including the earth.

 

Even try jump leads, but connect to the battery last not first.

 

Thanks, AG Falco

Many thanks I'll try that and let you know how it goes.

Turn your headlights on and try starting it, if the lights stay quite bright you may have a bad starter connection.  If the lights dim out and you hear the clicking it's probably a bad battery or its connections.

Interesting that. Funny enough the lights do not turn on at all. Makes me think all signs point to battery?

 

My bad lights stay on full bright so starter connection
