Fucking battery light came on the audi when I started it up. Went to fill with diesel and took it for a drive. I've gave fil my battery tester as his 300c is acting itself. I've got one of those things to plug in the cigarette lighter and it gives you voltage so headed home. 11.2v and the seat switched off. .put my booster on and 12v but it just span over slowly and stopped. We've done a couple of hundred miles since last weekend and the fucking thing has been fine.
Kitlltox messages saying the van battery was flat and he's waiting for home start.
You couldn't make this shit up 🤣

Take a spare battery and jump leads? There's probably done drain in the Audi battery or its just not taking a charge whilst on the vehicle.
Sounds stupid but I've had it before, newish battery that would only take a charge of maybe 5 amps, would charge up fully on a trickle charger but end up dead after a week of use because it wouldn't take a high charge from the alternator. Took me 2 alternators and a load of time spent checking wiring to figure that one out :(

What's the fag lighter thing reading with the engine running? If it's 11.2 I would be worried about your alternator.

I want to get it sorted properly for kiltox. I wouldn't like anyone to sell me a dud.
That's what I was thinking. Either that or she's sabotaging it. She came in from shopping with a face like an arse last night.
I can't believe that was my last drive of my favourite car ever.
