Charging C4 Battery using jumper positions

[Tony Hoffman]

I was under the inpression VAG did that changeover in 2000, so I'm surprised

Yes, you can charge the car just as jumping it, from those posts. It's a
direct link to the battery, so it will work just the same as hooking
directly on the battery.
