1 Month old Polo, won't move in drive WTF !!!

[Guest001]

Picked the car up yesterday morning (21st Dec) drove well.

Sunday morning while in driveway with radio on car suddenly goes dead.

Phone VW assist and an RACQ serviceman arrives to discover the battery terminal connectors weren't tightened, just sitting there WTF!!!

He tightened them at all was well

My wife them drives off to meet our landlord, once stopped car won't start AGAIN !!!

What the hell is happening ???

When you say "Wont start" What exactly happens.

EG car is totally dead No dash lights nothing

Car goes to start dash lights are on but starter doesn't make a noise

Dash lights are on and starter clicks away but doesnt turn engine.

A radio can flatten a battery in a few hours usually I can do updates on Satnav which take an hour without probs and DRL are on during that time as well.

Wouldnt like to try 2 hours though

If battery was flat when he tightened terminals I would have gone for an hours drive to get it up a bit as a short drive wont charge it enough.

Radio won't drain a polo battery because the car automatically shuts off ancillaries that are running without the engine running after a period o time to save the battery.

Yes, when everything works and there is no fault within the car electrics.
