I was wondering if anyone has noticed that on the mk4 golf the negative terminal connector on the battery doesn't quite sit properly ?
I think think is modding the battery box to accomodate the cable somehow so it sits square. Maybe by dremeling a bit away or driling a big hole and thredding it through.
Just wondered if anyone has noticed this. I was always wondering if this has been the cause of a few starting problems I have had on my 01 1.6 car. Sometimes just kicks up a fuss on starting a good 4.5 tries sometimes is required and firstly suspected the battery which was changed and is working good. Also had a halfords test on it which was fine.
I can't visually see anything on the battery connectors broken bent snapped damaged (alot of stuff is in thick plastic cablings)
I have cleaned the battery terminals as well when fitting new batery.
Could it be the starter or alternator or something else ?
Any advice welcomed as am not as experienced as I think I am with me little tool bag :)
Although VAG COM has saved me a fortune and been an education!!
thanks :)
