Audi 100 Typ 44 jump start terminals?

pimpdriver · 11-01-09, 11:25 PM

Hi,

My battery is under my back seat.

The haynes manual says there are some terminals under the bonnet to be used for jump starting.

Any idea where???

Cheers,

Steve

I have had six of these cars 5 of which the battery has been under the seat and i never knew there was such a thing!

Will have a nosey under the bonnet but i cant even think where they could be hiding

If its anything like BMW's there will be couple of large nuts somewhere that you can hook a set of jump leads to in the engine bay

They are hidding on the LHD models.

What a dumb question! Put on your thick glasses, if that's the reason why there is such topic instead of quick look and take a look on + wires around starter. If there isn't any, so there isn't. The purpose of manuals is to explain things that cannot be figured out using logic and not to use them instead of thinking!

What's the purpose of theese terminals anyway? Is this some new stylish way how to start car - instead of just turning ignition key?

P.S. In "some circumstances" for "some strange reasons" screw of starter and some grounded screw can be used like terminals. Of course, this isn't mentioned in manuals [I think so

], so it's the coice of people - to rely on he's brains or to rely on manual.

MSH,

I have asked a perfectly reasonable question, I do not expect to be insulted.

There might have been some terminals under the plastic cover near the relay box, by the wiper motor (where the battery lives on an Audi A4) so it is a perfectly reasonable question.

The purpose of the terminals is to be able to jump start (using a 2nd battery or vehicle) the car WITHOUT removing the back seat, which is held on by screws. Not everyone carries a screwdriver.

Will you please apologise?

I've had six type44's, from 83-91reg and none of them have had this jump-start facility,

despite it being mentioned in the later owners handbook!

Maybe it was only on LHD models? as previously suggested.
