Flat Battery and Smoke :s
Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2005 3:59 pm
Had noticed recently that my car sounded a little 'weak' when starting from cold. Wasn't really sure what to make of it but it's been working fine amd it's never not started.
Anyway, Not fired it up for a couple of days and went to it today. It wouldn't start. "s**t" I thought. Tried again and nothing so i was going to jump start it later. THEN i noticed whisps of smoke coming from behind/underneath the steering wheel housing. "s**t!" i thought.
What the hell's going on?? I thinking along the lines of that there's a short on my wiper stalk or at the end of the barrell. Anyone had this happen before?
It's a 99' 16V
Cheers
