Lacetti Engine Malfunction

My 2009 Chevrolet Lacetti diesel (156874 km) is giving me headaches. The engine control seems to be malfunctioning. It just won't start! I've checked the cable connections of the battery, and they seemed a bit loose. Could that be it?

Hey, I had a similar issue with my Lacetti. Same symptoms, engine wouldn't start. Did you check if the engine light is on or if there are any unusual sounds when you try to start it?

Thanks for the quick reply! The engine light is on, yes. But no unusual sounds, just the usual cranking without the engine actually firing up. What was the fix for yours? Was it also related to the battery?

In my case, the loose battery connection was indeed the culprit, but the issue was more complex. Get the car to a workshop, they'll run engine diagnostics and check the ECU. It could be something else entirely.

Thanks a bunch! I did as you suggested and took it to a workshop. Turns out you were right – it was the battery cable connections! They cleaned and tightened them, and everything's working fine now. Cost me 155€ Appreciate the help!
