Euro have a sale on ? Are you sure ? Some good deals on the internet and it's often with next day delivery .
I’d buy a better quality battery. A Bosch S4 001, 063 battery fires up my 2316cc 9.0:1 compression type 4 with no problem and I used the same battery in my 3.9l V8 MGB before moving it to the T2. https://www.batterymegastore.co.uk/bosh-s4001.html EDIT: oops, I’ve just checked - it’s a Bosch S5 001 that I use, 063, 520cca. https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/bosch/s5001/ If your engine won’t start you can sit there longer cranking it over if you use a bigger battery, if it starts you don’t need a battery with more cca than the starter motor needs. http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/correct-battery-size.48483/
This is eurocarparts too. Sharpie purchase date on its side. I phoned them up, if it dies within 3 years, they will come to you and exchange it! So in 2 years 11 months take a voltmeter reading and if it is less than 12.72V get on the phone You must be able to produce the receipt. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk
I've bought 3 Hankook batteries from these, good quality, very competitively priced, next day delivery too.
I have a Bosch S4 which is 41AH and small. Never has trouble turning over the engine or hauling the bus off the road when the wire drops off the ignition coil. Get a battery tester or come to Techenders and I can check the battery with my £20 tester and use my current clamp meter to check the starter current. I also have an ohm meter that can tell the difference between a good and bad cable (has a 30 ohm range going in steps of 0.01 ohm) May be worth measuring the starter current drain .. I used my Hall effect clamp meter and my starter draws 16Amps for the solenoid and 50 Amps to spin the engine... This is because the problem might be the starter motor or the starter bushing - I have met a VW T5 diesel engine pulling 250 amps at 10 volts on cranking. It was a git to start and needed the service battery bridged with the starter on the boat it was fitted to. Replacing the starter motor made it much easier to start. Oh yes, VW made a foray into marine engines once. Not one of their better ideas. Smaller than the average marine diesel for the same power so you cant even chuck it out and fit a proper engine because it will not fit. A 5 cylinder 2.5 litre turbo diesel producing about 100HP until the ECU and relays vibrate apart or the bilge water rots it.
