Thank you very much for your willingness to help. My battery is about 2 years old. I have had my Rifter serviced regularly, but the last service was over 10,000 KM ago, at 189,000 KM to be precise. The odometer is now at 199,200 KM. I would prefer to avoid replacing the battery sensor microprocessor for 315 euros if possible. Do you have any other ideas or tips? Many thanks in advance!

Hey, no problem! Well, the lifespan of a car battery is normally between 4 and 6 years, so yours should still be in good condition. In most modern vehicles, the problem with starting difficulties often lies with the electronics. It may therefore be that the control unit needs to be reset. What I can recommend would be to check the battery for weak phases. Perhaps something conspicuous has gradually developed over time. You could also check whether you have a voltage drop somewhere, perhaps there is an unwanted consumer somewhere. Alternatively - if you want to avoid the expensive replacement of the battery sensor - you could consult the ADAC or an independent garage again. They also have measuring devices and may be able to find the fault on site at your home or wherever the car is parked. I hope this helps you a bit! Fingers crossed!

Hi, that's a great tip, thank you very much! I hadn't even thought about an unwanted consumer. I will check the battery for weak phases and also visit the ADAC or an independent garage to get more clarity. Thank you very much for your good advice! You have really helped me. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hi, I've actually had a similar problem with my 2017 Peugeot Partner Diesel and I would describe myself as someone with a bit of car experience. Mine was actually a faulty battery sensor microprocessor. The garage replaced the stupid thing for me and it cost around 315 euros - not exactly a penny! To help you better, can you give more details about your car, please? For example, how old is the battery? The more information we have, the better we can help you!
