Yesterday was a harrowing experience for my wify while she drove, the car had some battery connection issues that cause the car to stutter and splutter due to poor connection and kept shutting down the car. At first we thought the battery was drained so the usual suspects were, "did we drain the battery with the headlights on?" "did the reverse camera function short circuit" etc. Anyways finally went down to Skoda at Ubi and got it checked, took a like forever for me to get there though as the car died along the way twice at each traffic light before reaching my destination. Questions: Why is it loose in the first place? Not sure. I did have my car serviced recently actually 5 days ago. Got it checked out and the mech there found the loose connection, tighten it, did a battery test and it was 100% phew. Alls well now. So just to give the bros and sis here a heads up that if you experience the same thing, open up your battery cover and check if the connection is loose, if it is, just tighten it and check again. Hope this helps if you ever experience it, if not than treat this as useless information.
