Default Re: Jumped my wifes GTI

I had to jump my wifes GTI. Left her lights on all day. Had to use the owners manual to find out how. Once I got the red cap off was fairly easy.

Default Jump start, no, but I did leave lights on overnight and kill the battery in the garage...

...rather than jump-starting it I used my heavy-duty 12V battery charger to charge it back up. Used the positive terminal in the engine bay and a big metal bracket in there for the neg.

Default Died at the gas pump

For once I didn't have my cell phone and good luck now finding a pay phone. Tow truck finally showed and jumped the Q7.

Same here. At a multi-storey car park. Had to have the AA out with a booster to start it. No problem since.
