Citi Golf Mk 1 Electrical or computer box problem

Post by Charldon »

What’s up guys I’m wondering if someone could help me
I drive a 2008 Citi golf mk1 1.4i

I think I’m having problems with the electrical or the cars computer box so what happens is The car starts and drives fine and all the electricals are working But as soon As i turn the car off The car it loses power and is completely dead for maybe 10 seconds While the car is restoring its power the cluster gauges and trip meter has lines through it and it makes a weird glitch then when all electrical power eventually comes back Everything has resetted it self.

Sometimes if I listen to music When the car is off it will also lose Power and everything resets again for no reason I have checked all the fuses and the battery is new the terminals are clean and I figure it can’t be a ignition switch and everything is grounded perfectly.

Sounds like a faulty battery. What size battery are you using and which brand? New batteries can also give problems
