Title: Battery terminals
Post by: bubble1973 on 20 December 2010, 12:58:39

Hi, ive been having problems with my 2001 2.2 cd not starting after leaving it overnight. I have recently had a replacement alternator which made no difference, and the battery is only 2 years old. I have noticed that the battery terminals get very hot when it is running. Aybody got any ideas? Many thanks.

if is getting hot is that just after starting or wile running?? could be a short in starter motor?
also when not in use put meter on battery and see if there is a drain on battery

have a read through KW's guide, a hot terminal could be a loose crimped connection on the battery lead.  :)
