Hi guys!
This forum is really great, and some of you know your stuff! I had the famous Neutral Switch error in my 97 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro, and now that was fixed, i keep getting an error wth my Audi..
I cant take it anymore [:@]! ive done so many changes i dont know why there is a mistake.

The battery is brand new, and i got the Alternator rebuild. They are both working fine, yet the battery keeps dying. I dont know if it's overcharging or is something draining it...
When im driving, it is recharging... i just dont get with it wont start sometimes.
I checked the other posts, but nothing seems to match. Maybe the throttle body?
Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

 

Does it always crank? Does it crank slowly? How are your cables?
If your cables are rotted, which they do from the inside out, you'll get a poor connection and your car will have a hard time starting and charging.
If you're running off of your battery because your alternator is not maintaining its charge, your battery will be ruined.
You can have a charging system test done at most autoparts store. I know Checkers/Schucks/Kragens/Murrays does them, and I assume Autozone and O'Reillys do them as well.

 

definately check out the cables. it sounds like a bad wire... trace your gound wire too and make sure it has a good connection with the block. that could do it.

 

Yeah sound slike it could be a bad wire to me as well...
Also make sure you have a good ground.
