VW - No Start or Discharged Battery

Volkswagens which repeatedly exhibit a no start or discharged battery condition may be victims of a loose fastening nut on the terminal #30 of the starter solenoid.  Any suspect vehicles should have all wires connected to the #30 terminal removed and inspected for corroded or burnt connections and cleaned as necessary.  Then reconnect previously removed wires and torque fasteners to 10 N-m (7.5 ft. lb.) and recheck starting system. (SR15X, SR17X).
