Hey

Newb question ahoy

Got a 04 XT Forester

Noticed late last night heading home that when starting the car up it hesitated slightly, made a real quick chirp (sorta like an alarm noise) and then started up, usually fires up straight away.

(it didn't crank repeatedly, it sorta just hung on the first crank, hesitated (sorta like it starting a car with a dead battery / bogging down/dip in power) chirp/noise, fires up) - Battery dying?

This morning it did it a little slower, got to work and turned it off, and started it up a few times, no hesitation / noise at all, fired straight up

Left it for a few hours (approx 5) did the same thing on initial start up, then was fine.

Started yesterday, the other thing that occurred that day was, filled the tank up from about 5lts from bottom. so could it up stirred up any muck in the tank and jacked up the filter?

Or is the battery on the way out?

Cheers
