The Sportwagen wouldn't crank over today. It has been running issue free since we got it 3 years ago. When I pushed the start button, I got all of the warnings that one would expect with a low voltage issue. I checked it and it was at 8 volts, so I put a charger on it for a couple of hours and it started right up. When I shut it down, everything went off as usual, but while I was sitting in the car, the ScanGauge came back on for 10-15 seconds then off for the same amount of time before coming back on again. I thought I heard a click under the hood so I got out to have a closer listen. Sure enough, there was a click when the ScanGauge came on and another when it went off. I unplugged the ScanGauge and didn't hear any more clicking, so I'll do a VCDS scan in the AM but if anyone has any suggestions, please chime in. BTW, the click was coming from the driver's side of engine compartment near the fuse/relay box and one of the control units.
