B4VR6 193 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Fitted the correct battery this morning and car runs smooth now. I had a hesitation problem with it and also things like having lights on then pressing the button for Windows the dash lights dimmed. So after thinking it was a bad earth (kind of is as the earth terminal won't tighten up properly) I fitted a Bosch battery at 60ah and its all good.
