Saxo Idle Stop Problem

My 2003 Citroen Saxo diesel is having issues with the idle stop. The error memory keeps flagging it, the engine randomly shuts off, and the speedo is lit up with warning lights. Mileage is at 212852 km. Could this be a battery issue?

I had something similar with my Saxo. The idle stop was super unreliable. Did you check your battery? That thing powers everything!

So, you reckon it's just the battery? Did yours throw up the same errors and warning lights, and did the engine cut out completely?

Yeah, similar errors, same lights. It's a pain, I know. Honestly, just get the battery properly checked at a workshop. Could save you a lot of hassle.

Turns out you were right - battery was toast! New battery and a bill for 290€ later, the stop-start is working fine. Thanks!
