  • Could battery be the problem

    Hi helpful people
    Driving a 1.6 vti auto
    Been having a lot of niggling problems as listed below.
    1. 2-3 gear lags slightly 3rd gear itself feels like 2 gears itself ..first a lag then a slight pick up.
    2. Power window works on and off. Sometimes turning the engine on and off and it works...
    3.airbag light always on for awhile when start and goes off after.
    4. Radio static is horrible

    Could a weak battery or some elctronic shortage be a possible cause?

    :confused:

    Do not know how the auto box normally feels but if it is a problem changing the transmission fluid might help.
    window- don't know loose connection somewhere maybe?
    The airbag is fine the light is supposed to do that.
    radio- I would unscrew the antenna and clean both pieces then pull the radio out and check that the antenna cable hasn't come loose, after that don't know.

          Re radio static - do you have a after market charger plugged in ? I did this with a Griffin charger and the radio hated it. Removed it and paid for a TomTom filtered charger and all was good again

              I have since replaced the antenna with a longer one and its a wee bit better now.
