Hey everyone
I recently went away for 6 weeks, and forgot to d/c the battery cables and i came back to find my car wont start and the remote wouldn't even work.
Anyway i hooked up my portable jump starter and turned on the car, and then d/c the jump starter after 10-15m while the engine was running on idle and then took the car around the block for a drive and while the alternator sign was coming up on the computer the car would then go in power saving mode and then switch off. This happened twice, until i left the portable battery starter attached and then drove it back home.
The battery is hooked up to a charger now and going to let it charge for 3-4 hours and then try again
So if it is a alternator issue, is that a expensive fix? or what do you guys reckon
