I had (and still do) a golf 1998 1.6 in Poland as a temporary car for over 2 years. Never had a single problem and always started even if left at the airport car park for 2 weeks during -26c weather.
This morning my nearly month old 2005 x5 3.0 which has already had a broken door handle carrier decided its not gonna start.
The car opened up with the key fob no problem. Sat in the car....turned the key 1, 2, dash lights came on for half a sec, 3 and then it died.
I am not sure wether i should pause for the 2 lights to go away before i continue to crank on 3, but it was as if somehow it didnt like the way i turned the key so quickly and it lost all power.
No sign off power at all as if someone took out the battery.
So went back inside to get the Golf keys....started as smooth as butter.
Would really appreciate if anyone can advise why my x5 died on me this morning.
