cliffcoggin Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Yes it was a battery problem all along, as we all suspected from the start. The ABS pump was a red herring. Have you had the battery coded to the car yet? You will need to in order to get all functions working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that the simple charging circuits on a 12 year old car will have that capability, so it seems to me that to fit a 12 volt Li-ion battery to the A3 is both wastefully expensive and a retrograde step in terms of performance. A plain lead-acid battery would do the job adequately. Hi Cliff its not a LI-ION battery LION is the brand and believe me they aint any good. Steve.

cliffcoggin Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Oops. Silly me. I read so many topics elsewhere concerning electric cars I have got used to mispelling of Li-ion by many folk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
