When I bought my '85 eighteen months ago it came with a used battery, which has given good service. Several times lately, usually after the van has sat for five or six days without starting, the engine doesn't start *right* up like it used to. There is a hesitation before it turns over. Is this symtomatic of a worn out battery? (I had a new starter installed eighteen months ago, & six months ago a new ignitions switch.) Advice much appreciated, as always! Cheers, Phaedra '85 Wolfsburg Westy |
