I drive an Audi A4 2.0 TDI with 170 hp, with this battery was completely empty, that is, he is no longer called.
My girlfriend drives a Polo 1.2 with 60 hp. Your car I wanted a "host" use to start my car.
I just read something on the Internet and there it was said that it is higher for diesel engines prerequisites to a jumper cable, as otherwise you might take the jumper cable damage itself, or worse, and donor and recipient engine / battery.
So have targeted a high-quality cable sought, which is also suitable for diesel engines.
This cable here is "4000 cc petrol engines up to 7,000 cc, diesel engine max." For, that is, my car is right in the middle of the values.
This cable would also be so much more powerful engines can be started as mine. Of course, the cable is backwards compatible, ie very small motors can be started so well.
So I ordered the cable without further ado.
After arrival:
With Prime everything was delivered with the customary speed. Have unpacked the box directly. The cable is packaged with an illustrated manual in a kind of plastic wrap with zipper. The cable feels quite valent, is much thicker than the cables that I otherwise had time in hand. Is probably because that more current can be conducted.
The accompanying illustrated guide is very good, per se can thus be already working.
Got me to safety again printed instructions from the ADAC [...]. This is a closer and describes the process yet.
Connecting with both cars and also the startup of my car folded easily. Immediately after I turned the ignition then jumped on my engine. I am really very pleased, everything worked smoothly.
A new battery had in my then still clean, but I was able to save the expensive cost of towing to the workshop.
The jumper cables is always since in my trunk if I or others should get a startup problem times.
Note:
If as in my case, a rather small petrol engine the "current donor" is and a relatively large diesel engine customers, one should remember that the jump start can adversely affect the battery of the donor vehicle, because the buyers need a lot more power to start, as the donor's own startup provides normal.
In my case it went well, my girlfriend gave during startup when your car is idling the entire time Accelerate moderately so the alternator also supplies electricity.
Should any technical or physical defects descriptions in the text here, I ask the excuse. Myself am a layman and have all just been read to me.
I wish you much fun with the jumper cables and of course a good trip!
