Parked car for 9 weeks -
I have a 01 BMW 325i 4dr . I parked my car for 9 weeks as I was on
extended vacation. Was not started once in this period.. Now im back and the car starts fine and all, but not in the first try. By default it wont start in the first try in the mornings. In Vermont the temprature dips to -10 or so and its damn cold! I dont recall having this problem before... Also the CD player skips a bit when I hit a rough surface on the road or a bump. Are these because the battery has not charged fully? What can i do to eliminate these problems? thanks a lot guys ozzy |

If you do that again, buy a solar battery charger that plugs into the cig
lighter, and lay the panel on the dash. Face the car south if possible. > wrote in message oups.com... >I have a 01 BMW 325i 4dr . I parked my car for 9 weeks as I was on > extended vacation.

The better ones stream the data off the CD into a memory buffer, then when the CD gets jarred and the stream is interrupted, the speakers are fed from the buffer. I'm sure your local car radio place can set you up with something decent. Ted |
