Hi all,

I have a VW Bora 1.4 petrol (2000) and after not driving the car for 2 weeks, the battery was dead. The battery was weak before hand as I noticed that sometimes when I put the indicators on when the headlights where on, that the headlights would dim or flash off and on for a split second.

I thought after changing the battery that issue would disappear but after changing the battery yesterday I noticed the same behaviour.

Anyway have any ideas on why this occurs.

Cheers,
Higgs

Thanks,

What makes you think it is the altenator. The warning light did not come on. Is there any self checks I can do?
