Hey Guys, I hope someone can help me with this.


My Mk8 fiesta St has developed a weird intermate start up problem.


When I come to start the car it'll just tick..

Can't be jumped only a slight bump will get her kicking over straight away.


New battery fitted, new alternator fitted,new fob battery, (issue arisesed even when car was stock)

I have attached a video of the issue.

Check the NEG battery cable where it connects to the body at firewall.
You may need to remove paint under the cable.
