Encountered my first major prob with my scoob today...

Well since I got it two weeks ago, its been in my drive, because I hadnt sold my GTi. (I did start the scoob up a couple of times just to make sure the battery does die).

Well, sold the Gti toay and attempted to move the scoob out of the garage onto the drive... and when i turn the key a second notch, nothing happened...just a click, tried again, click...

Ok, last time I started the scoob was on monday...has the battery died? or could it be something else? also when I lock/unlock the car it doesnt flash no more...

wierd cos I left my 10 year old escort for two weeks without firing it up, and when I finally drove it, worked perfectly...

 

what a stupid thread this is get another battery give it a jump start if that doesnt work then it is something else. You seriously couldnt work this out on ur own. A major problem are you kidden

 

This happened to me, same circumstances.

I was about to take it out for the first time, after selling my other car. Went to take the car out of the garage and the key fob wouldn't open the car. I called subaru assistance because I originally thought it might be my keyfob as it suffers from the police/fire/ambulance frequency masts. So anyway I unlocked the car with the key and turned the car over, nothing.

I called the AA and a guy came within 10 minutes, connected a booster thing to the car battery and hey presto, it started up.

Maybe its a flat battery mate, I think my car was sitting for a week and the battery had drained.

Following on from this will be how do i turn my sidelights off


Like they say mate, try a different battery, a question is only a stupid oneif you know the answer

Oh and take care of those wheels

 

i thought the solution was fairly simple for anyone who knows even a wee bit about cars my girl would have known to do that
