Default Nelp with Starting Car

Just tried to start my 01 A4 and nothing but a loud click. It sounded like the starter locked up. Just drove it an hour ago. No power to anything. Hard to believe the stock battery went bad in 22K miles. Any suggestions?

Try charging/testing your battery and go from there...

First I would remove the battery and make sure that it didn't leak. while you have the battery out recharge it, and clean and inspect the area for acid or dirt etc. ....but if it were me I woukld replace it with an OPTIMA or a new AMG glass mat battery from Delco. There have been problems with the stock Delco's... Good luck .... :cheers:
