[Vwdiesel] Odd Power Drain Update

[Dave Cook]

Well, I hooked the cheap-o charger up to the car this morning while working on the door panel.  

The trouble light hasn't come on yet, so maybe there really was something wrong with the old battery.

It started this morning (having sat since Saturday evening when I put the battery and window motor in) though a little slowly.  That doesn't worry me too much yet...  Who knows how long the battery sat on the shelf at the store before being put in the car, it may have been a little low to start with.  I'm going to let my little charger finish up and turn over the car to my friend and we'll see what happens over the next few days.
