Did not tighten the fuse strip but did clean the female side of the connector. I'll clean the post as you suggest, do the female sides again, and tighten fuse strip.

I did check voltage across fuse strip and it was 12.5 at one point if I recall correctly.

That would be best. You need a really strong battery, and it's weakness shows up in either really cold or really hot weather. You do need a block or coolant heater and it is a good idea to put the battery on a charger to keep it warm.

Off track but is your VW a gasser? Replace the coil packs?

We sold my wifes 00 VR6 after I took it to the dealership for a cracked pan. As usual they replaced multitude of burnt bulbs. I watched the tail light go out (just replaced mind you) when leaving the dealership. I'd had enough of that.

GL on the GP issue. Did you verify that the plugs were getting 12+V and 50A?
