Hi everybody, i haven't used my new beetle for 2 months and the battery is dead.
So it connect to my other new beetle and it still doesn't start. Everything seems okay though....
Is there a way i can fix that myself or do i have to call Volkswagen.
Thanks.

Does the engine turn over? Or just a click click click?

You're pretty game jump-starting a NB or any new computerised car for that matter. Best way is to swap the batteries over. Also make sure ignition is off, key out of keyhole, accessories and headlights off and finally door is shut before swapping batteries as each one of these are connected to the ECU or computer. Better to be safe than sorry. Good Luck.
