2002 S3 Battery problem / Dead / not charging?

[djarchive]

Had a 5.5 Clifford Avantguard fitted and since then my battery is not holding charge. Took it off the car for approx 30 hours gave it a massive charge, and still to no avail.


Dead as a dodo.

So... Is the 1.8T battery found in the A3 the same used in my BAM S3?

Just that I will use the 1 I can get from my local autofactor if this be true.



Audi wont tell me / cant tell me as they are assholes



Thanks,

I would of thought it is the same, cant see why it would be different.

Hello mate, I work for a motor factors We have a problem with S3 batteries where they don't appear in our catalogues. I have fitted part no 027 to both my S3's (APY and AMK) which was a perfect match. For the A3 1.8T we list an 063 which is a couple of inches shorter and 200 amps less. These part numbers are standard UK reference numbers so most parts companies should recognise them. Hope this helps.
