Hey Brian, I would like to ask you a few questions if you have the time
I have recently purchased a 84 VW rabbit convertible wolfsburg edition.
Purchased him and during the 20 mile drive home about 10 miles shifted into 5 gear when i noticed large puff of white smoke behind me then he started acting like out gas, stalled at a light and when I tried to start nothing happened. No noise, no clicking, no humming, no thumping he just sat there.
I know that the alt, starter, and battery were replaced in may of last year, the receipts were provided at time of sale.
I took the battery to local advance and they stated the battery was drained but had volts?? So they said they would charge it up.
I plan to replace the grounds- battery to frame then frame to engine or v.s. I will verify correct order. Where is the best place to purchase and what gauge?
Can you direct me where to start first to help determine what the problem might be.
