hmm, leave the darth vadar bus for a couple of days and it goes flat, will check levels and check boot light out aswell.

mine is pretty slow to turn over even when the battery is freshly charged. ive found on the mk2 the connection at the starter motor on mine was poor and the main power wire could slide out of the connector to the starter, re-crimped and all is well
from the sacred dojo of muppetsport the grand master shall show us the way.

put me new one of me mk2 on the mk4, got the old one off the mk2 (was a boot light prob not knacked batt) topped up water, charged up and now both sorted!!, all i can say is vw dont make it 'easy' on the mk4 to get at the battery!!, you have to take rear headlight cover off to access the clamp then the mulipul thingy on the top is a right twot to get off!! then you aint got alot of room either!!!! see pic!!
