Hi everyone,

Thanks for the admission into your forum.

Been a fan of VW cars for decades now. I have owned a few in the past and I have just purchased a 2007 125 TDI Passat Wagon.

I like turning spanners...!

I had a flat battery a few days ago and I recalled that a month or so back it cranked slowly a few times so I presumed the battery was dying as it must be getting on to four years old, cold morning, not driven for a few days etc. A load test said the battery was OK so I tested the voltage with a multimeter...
