Hey, thanks for your reply! Could you perhaps tell me how much you paid for the repair back then? And did anything else happen afterwards? Best regards!

Hey, you're welcome! So, during my last visit to the garage, it was discovered that I was having problems starting the engine. Fortunately, the problem was resolved quite quickly. The mechanic said that the fault was the result of a fault in the vehicle's electrical system. The good news: the cost of the repair was €0 because it was just a minor issue that he was able to fix in no time at all. Since then, my Seat Ateca has been running like clockwork again and no further problems have arisen. I hope this gives you some hope that it could be just a minor issue. It's best to go to a trustworthy garage to have a closer look. Good luck and have a safe journey! Best regards!

Hey, your symptoms sound very much like a typical problem with the vehicle's electrics. I have a 2016 Seat Ateca and had similar problems last year. I also found that the engine struggled to start in the cold and the lights flickered. I also had a weak battery and various warning lights. My mechanic determined at the time that the fault was the result of a secondary fault in the vehicle's electrical system. More precisely, the control unit (ECU) was damaged and there were problems with several sensors. This work was quite complex and time-consuming, but necessary to get the car back into a reliable condition. If you have similar symptoms, I can only advise you to go to a trustworthy workshop and have the electronics checked comprehensively. Good luck and have a good journey!
