Help - Battery???

[Pky]

Hi peoplg, i've searched but its not bringing up much...


I have a problem, I think its my battery but???

The problem is starting the car. it is stugling quite bad sometimes i will need to hold the key for around 15 seconds??

It does eventually start but...

I replaced engine temp sensor not too long ago (2 - 3 months)

plugs also not long replaced... around 3 months ago...

when it does this, my mpg etc resets to 0.0 and my trip ometer thingy (both of them)

sound like battery?

my voltmeter is showing like ~ 11 - 12v but that is with nothing on in the car... when going though it goes up to arround 14v constant..

Idea's peoples please?

PS. its a cupra...

Have none of your mates got cars? Could have slapped one of them in for a run somewhere.

Hope it sorts out your problem!
