Help With Electrical Problem

[NickLCR]

I've got a little problem with the electrics in my LCR.

Basically I was out earlier, parked up, turned off and returned to my car not 5 minutes later and all the electrics had gone off, no clock nothing when I turned ignition on. This sorted itself after a few minutes, and the car started fine and ran fine.

So it goes on...

Then I was driving and turned my dipped beams on, and the engine stuttered, dash lights flickered and the radio went off. I thought it could of been the lights, 80w Sportzblue + led sidelights, so changed them for normal halogen 55w bulbs, drove off and switched on whilst driving and all was fine. Then parked up, turned the engine off and the electrics reset themselves, time back to 00:00, trip computer all reset and the radio too.

Whats going on Vag-com shows nothing

Bump, any ideas? Battery being a bit funny?

Yeah sound like battery dying, best get it drop tested, or be ready to replace with a new.

Either that or check terminals on the battery for tightness. Might not be relevant but i had the same issue on a 306 a while back. That turned out to be a knackered/loose battery terminal.

Only other thing would be to check your earth
