2018 T6 won't start

[Tetleycat]

My 2018 T6 has been struggling to start after being sat for a week. Now it wouldn't start at all. Starter motor turns over very weakly, then I get a solenoid clicking. No ignition at all. I've tried jumping it from my car, but still nothing. Any thoughts?

flat battery. . . . possibly knacked battery.

take it out van and charge on the bench for 24hrs with a smart charger suitable for AGM batterys. . .

the jump start prob failed due to a poor connection on one of the clamps. . . you can jumpstart a T6 with jumper cables, but you need beefy cables and a good cionnection, plus a donor car/van with a high output. (turn on electrics etc to get a high alaternator voltage)


see here about chargers, jump starters, battery earth, etc:

Thanks. I've just bought the van and suspect it's been sat in a yard for a year, so the battery could be duff.

My battery died and i managed to revive it with this guide on youtube. Worked for me. Your results may vary
