Looking for tips: Starting difficulties and flickering lights with Seat Tarraco, Diesel, 2019

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2016 Seat Ateca. It was difficult to start and the lights also flickered. After a visit to the workshop, it turned out that there was an overvoltage in the electrical system that caused the on-board computer chaos. It was quite serious, a lot had to be done to the vehicle, from replacing parts of the electrical system to adjusting the lights. I recommend you go to the workshop soon. An overvoltage like that is not good for the electronics or the battery. Take care and drive carefully, buddy!

Hello, thank you for your feedback! These are exactly the things I'm worried about. Do you happen to remember how much the repair cost? And have there been any other problems since then? I would be delighted to receive an answer!

Hey, no problem! So, to fix the overvoltage in the vehicle, I had to go to a mechanic. It looks like the battery was faulty and it cost €290. But since then everything has been fine again and I've had no further problems. I hope that helps you a bit. Take good care of your car, buddy!

Hey, thanks for the helpful information! That reassures me a little. 290 is not exactly cheap, but if it helps, I'm happy to pay it. It's always good to hear that there hasn't been another problem. I'll definitely make it to the garage. Wish me luck! You've really helped me out, buddy!

Hello, Has the alternator also been checked to see if the regulator is defective and there is an overvoltage for this reason? This should definitely be done, because in my case it was the alternator itself that caused the problems.

Hey, you could also measure an overvoltage yourself with a multimeter if you have one Greetings
