Hi all
Hopefully someone may be able to help/advise. My 06 A3 2.0T has recently been turning over very slowly now the cold mornings are here, it almost feels as if it may not even start, for the first 2 or 3 seconds it is really slow. I wondered if this is normal as a slow turnover for these engines or not?
The car is 5 year old now and has done 80k and guess it is the original battery, am I right in thinking they last between 4 or 5 years? I have only had the car since the summer and it was quicker to start back then. Just don't want to shell out for a new battery in case it may be something else.
Another concern is with it being DSG its not as if I can bump start it if it won't start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.
