Polo Tsi 2016 won't start, just makes a click sound and resets everything ie. Time and Date, Radio frequencies
Hi, My car won't start since last week and it has happened for 4 days. I just took it for a service in May 2018 and they said everything is fine. So now I do not know. I am just frustrated. Does the tracking device affects the engine? Is it the cold?

Sounds like a loose battery terminal(s). Ensure that they are clean and tight

at the risk of stating the seemingly obvious, are you sure the battery is ok? Midwinter is when my battery will die. Try jump from another car (with all the applicable precautions) and see if it starts ok?

As said, Battery and check terminals
batteries can die overnight.
If manual , Kick start it, If it's kicks starts then Battery

If the time and radio frequencies go then it is definitely battery related.
I am having a similar problem I had the battery checked but they say it is fine.
My time and radio frequencies do not go.The guy by the battery place said the starter could be faulty
in a sense that when you boost it with another car it gives it an extra bit of power which is being
lost by the faulty brushes/solenoid,is there any truth in this?
Mine clicks when trying to start up but does not start,if I kick start it it starts or
if I boost it with another battery it starts,is it the starter?
Thanks in advance.

Seen a problem like this recently, the cause was the "paint" that is sprayed on the battery poles, after a service at a service center.
Cleaned out the paint from the poles and no problem ever since.
