General Comments
Volkswagen Golf 1.4 S: I have had a problem with battery going dead, for no reason. It has happened 3 times in less than one year, and I can get no answers from me dealers, which were great when purchasing the car but the after service is nil.

on 20th Sep 2004I have also had problems with battery going flat on my 1.4E golf. I have found that the alternator is lazy and engine needs to be revved to around 3000rpm before alternator will charge. I have jumped into my car many a time forgeting to do this, driving easily (less than 3000rpm) and the battery has died about 2miles down the road

I bought a golf last week and my battery has died out on me almost every day.
