A car battery is like the beating heart of your Volkswagen Passat. Yet, you probably don't think about it unless something happens. Taking care of your battery can ensure that it won't let you down when it matters most.
Our Volkswagen service center offers complete automotive care, including battery maintenance and changes. Here are four signs of battery problems from the experts at Patrick Volkswagen.
- Slow Turnover
If the car is slow or you have to start it a few times before the engine kicks into gear, your battery is on borrowed time. Bring it in for a battery change.
- There's a Cranking Sound When You Try to Start The Car
A dying battery sometimes makes noises, but the engine won't turn over. You can try taking the battery out and recharging it. If the car still doesn't start, bring it in for a new one.
- You Have to Jump The Car Multiple Times
If you have to pull out jumper cables a lot, it's probably time to replace the battery. You could also have a problem with your alternator.
- The Battery Is Corroded
If you see rust or corrosion on the battery or terminals, then it's time to take action. A car rust cleaner may work for mild cases, but for extensive damage, a new battery is needed.
