My 2014 jetta TDI does the exact same thing as in your video when the battery is dying. I've had the car now for 6 years and it's happened 3 times. If the alternator checks out fine, then I would attempt a new battery.
And yet my 2008 VW had a Bosch battery out the factory ????♂️.
Fucking thing lasted 10 years or so though. So credit to Bosch for that one!
El otro día viajé en un taxi eléctrico BYD. El tachero estaba encantado; me enseñó el coste de las recargas y es una locura: entre 80 y 190 pesos (y la autonomía era de 350-400 km). Con su vehículo anterior gastaba 400 USD semanales en nafta: el ahorro es de tal calibre que amortiza el auto en 18 meses. Aparte de eso, la marca ofrece una garantía total por todo el vehículo de 5 años o 500.000 km y de 8 años por la batería. Es una barbaridad: ni los japoneses en sus buenos tiempos llegaban a tanto. Me enseñó también, a través de no sé qué aplicación, la cobertura de recarga en todo el país y realmente puedes viajar siempre y cuando no te despistes y calcules correctamente dónde parar a recargar. El único pero, que la aceleración es lenta (de 0 a 100 en 14 segundos), y eso te quita agilidad y añade inseguridad a la hora de, por ejemplo, adelantar a otro vehículo. Por lo demás, el auto me sorprendió por la calidad de los acabados: BYD le ha comido la tostada a Tesla, clarísimamente.
I have a snap-on torque wrench and duracell keeps doing that, I switched over to energizer and it stopped.
My car previous to that ('98 Z/28), had an Optima Yellow top. The car sat in garaged for several months with a map light left on, and the battery was dead. It took about 15 minutes of jumping to get interior lights, and another 10-15 minutes to start. After this, I drove that car for another 4 years with the same battery without any other issues.
I did just replace the battery in the Trans Am in the fall after 15 years (bought when I picked the car up - I really got my money's worth on that Duralast). It had never been on a tender and that car sees maybe 1500 miles in a big year. But of course it also has virtually zero parasitic drain. I didn't even realize how weak it was progressively getting until I had a no start moving it out of the garage for a wash. It started so much easier on the new batt, I was actually laughing.
Commenting here for others to find. 5TA915105B has dimensions that align with Group 48/H6 specs. I bought an Odyssey 48-720 and it was a perfect fit. Bonus tip - FCP Euro has it for $250 and it includes their lifetime warranty.
I bought an optima just because it and it's custom hold down looked cool. Unfortunately I let it sit with no tender for over a year and it discharged almost completely. I've been able to nurse it back and it is functioning at this time, but not sure it will hold a charge. We will see. I'm happy with it otherwise.
I’ve had it 3.5 years and it just started doing the “Stop Vehicle Leave Engine Running” thing about a month ago.
Bought a new one and had to warranty it 6months later.
