I've owned my 08 gd3 for about a month now.

daily driven, autocrossed last week. and driven to work some more.

this morning, it didnt not start at all. no crank, but i did hear the starter click repeatedly. headlights turned on, power locks were slow, but it wouldnt start.

i jumped it and it was started fine. im sure its just the battery.

is this a known issue with gd3s ? or i just had a dying battery? i really hope its the latter.

 

At first blush, it sounds like the relay was engaged but the battery just didn't have enough juice to spin the starter motor. Did you put a meter on it before you jumped it?

 

nope. didnt have time. was getting ready to leave for work.

heres a vid:

 

did a load test on the battery and it was fine.

any ideas?
