Welcome Mark, What led you to renewing the battery? What brand did you buy? Did you code the new battery to the car? Did you check the alternator output? Have you checked for a parasitic drain on the battery? Regards, Gareth.

Car needs to be scanned to see any logged error codes. I agree, using oil is worry. Also, coolant, does it need topped up or is it discoloured?

If you could scan the car with VCDS that would narrow it down, otherwise it’s a needle in a haystack. Wiring under the seat is a good call. Usually yellow wire is related airbag module.

Good for you. Hang on to the spring. Roads are in tatters, so only a matter of time. I change droplinks all the time. They are inexpensive in the scale of things, but a quick fix for tell tale clunks.

Apologies for the gripe, but the forum has recently suffered from a spate of what can be termed ‘Post and Run’ new members, who seem to think it’s perfectly acceptable to post a plea for help, and simply not return to view the help given. In a more diluted form, help is offered, but is very rarely acknowledged even via. a simple press of the Like button, leave alone a posted Thank You. The last part of the gripe is that we frequently have to ask for additional information, and this extra detail often never materialises. Please remember, everyone who posts replies do so without payment, but it certainly does cost them in time - in terms of the Moderators and Admin back up - a lot of time. So a special plea to all on here who post needing help:- please be respectful enough to acknowledge any help given, rather than simply accept it as a no-cost, no time of yours, free advice service. It’s wearing thin folks, so if you want to retain this service, please respect and acknowledge its benefits. Thank you all for reading this, and above all, agreeing to adhere to the respect that is needed to be shown. Kind regards, On behalf of the Moderators. Please note:- This request is to all members, not just new ones. p.s. Please avoid using non specific locations such as U.K., England etc. etc.
