Peugeot 107 Battery Drain

My 2008 Peugeot 107 (diesel) is giving me grief. Battery keeps dying! Speedometer throws error messages, lights flicker like crazy, and the error memory is full of weird stuff. Starting the engine is a total struggle. Any ideas? Mileage is at 164380 km.

I understand you're experiencing a heavily discharged battery in your Peugeot 107. These symptoms: error messages, flickering lights, recorded errors, and weak starting performance indeed point to a battery or charging system issue. Have you checked the battery's voltage when the engine is off and while it's running? Also, were all electrical consumers switched off during testing?

Nah, I haven't checked the voltages myself. Don't have the gear, to be honest. But could it be something besides the battery itself that's draining it?

Indeed, there are various possibilities. A defective battery sensor is potentially at fault, causing excessive drainage. Given the complexity and potential for misdiagnosis, and as you lack testing equipment, I suggest consulting a qualified workshop to inspect the electrical system comprehensively. The repair cost will probably be around 315€.

You were spot on! Took it to a garage, and it was the battery sensor causing all the trouble. Cost me 315€ as you predicted to get it sorted, but at least it's running smoothly now. Thanks for your help!
