Hi i have a audi 2.0 tdi sport 57 plate with 60k miles i have had no problems and just tried to start it and its ticking over but not starting ? Ive tryed it 6 times now up until the point the battery starts to die (about 10 seconds) after it if i leave it it says esp problem but i think thats because the car didnt start . Any help please ?
A3 2.0tdi wont start but has battery ??

If it's the original battery then it's about time it was changed. Usually the steering wheel warning light comes on for a while when engine is started or the battery warning light comes on.
If you have a voltmeter connect it to the battery and should read at least 12v without the ignition on and 14v. when the engine is running. If lower than 14v when running, then the charging cct is not working. If the battery never goes above 12v in any situation then it is goosed.
