240D cranked a little slow when I was going home from work yesterday. No problem, I told myself, just slap on the battery charger overnight.
When I got home, parked the car outside intending to put it in the garage (and attach the battery charger) after supper. Got involved in a three hour household project and forgot all about the car. Walked out of the house and into the garage at 7:30 this morning. "Hey, where's my car?" Oooops, it was outside in mid-teen temps with a non-100% battery. Glow plug light didn't come on, either (a common problem when the car is really cold). So ... before walking to my office (just a few blocks) I hooked up the battery charger! Note to self -- put the car in the garage immediately after arriving at the house, especially in the winter. -- 1977 240D 1983 VW Quantum turbo diesel 5-speed 1972 Honda CB-500K motorcycle http://www.airamericaradio.com/listen
