Bora 4Motion start up question

[Golf-Sam]

Hi guys ,

this morning noticed my Bora was struggling to start .. the weather is relatively cold and moist .. now i only picked up the car just a bit over a month ago . . battery died on me a few times and got jumped back to life ..

i kept trying to start the engine .. it was turning but nothing happened til the battery drained .. any info on that ? is that common with 24v VR6 ?

also as i kept trying to start the car there was slight flashing of dash cluster lights/indicators etc .. now i didnt start the car and just walked to uni because i had no one to jump me ..

Sounds like you need a new battery.

mine did the same a while ago and I was lucky that it happened infront of a mechanic. The problem was the fuel pump relay and no power
was going to the fuel pump to pump the fuel to the engine.
