Argo starting issue

Hey, my 2019 Fiat Argo with a gasoline engine is giving me headaches. It's got 129k km on it and struggles to start, like the battery's almost dead. A shop told me that terminal 30 continuous plus is interrupted... Could it be a short circuit?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar starting issue with my Argo. Have you checked the battery? Mine was heavily discharged, like trying to start a car with a potato!

Yeah, I thought about that. How did you figure out your battery was the problem? Did you measure its output or anything?

I didn't measure anything myself, I just took it to a workshop. They confirmed that my battery was defective and causing a drain. They called it a charging system failure. If you suspect it, I'd recommend getting it checked out professionally.

Thanks for the advice! Took your advice and went to the workshop. Turned out the battery WAS heavily discharged AND defective. Replaced it for 290€ and car starts as new!
