[QUOTE="Boonie Buster, post: 1439239, member: 15974"] What gives! 2002 VW GTI 1.8T So I replaced the battery 3 months ago. Last night went to start it up and nothing, jump started it, ran fine. Went to start it up this morning, agian nothing, jump started, drove it 30 miles no problem. stopped it and tried to restart and nothing. All the dashlights come on strong, but there's not enough juice to start it, its really slow to turn over and just wont fire up. The battery is reading 12.5v while the car is running, Had the alternator tested, it's fine. There is no resistance in the wires from the battery to alternator. Not really sure what's going on or what else could be the problem....? We checked the cells in the battery, all fine, i even tried another alternator, same thing. My alternator is reading 7.6v output...:eeek: HELP!!! :corn: I'm just not sure what else to check, we check all the fuses we could find, maybe there is a secret one that VW hid somewhere that we didnt check... :eeek: Thanks in advance.
