Hey Fellas
New to this site, currently own a mkIII 1996 vr6 golf.
Im having an issue with it at the moment, need some help.
The battery died a short time ago, and i believe my brother tried jump starting it, however i think he placed positive on positive and negative on negative instead of earthing/grounding the black. I hear that this can cause a surge of some kind which can effect the computer.
The golf will start up fine with another battery however it will cut off/ almost straight away once the engine fires.
If im right about the computer issue, is there anyway which i can get my hands on a aftermarket/second hand computer? and for how much?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers Matt
