Seat Alhambra Electrical Issues

My 2004 Seat Alhambra with a gasoline engine is driving me crazy! It keeps malfunctioning and draining the vehicle battery. The speedometer is displaying many error messages, the lights are flickering, and it barely starts. The error memory is also full. I suspect it's the battery sensor that's faulty.

I faced a similar issue with my Alhambra. Have you checked the vehicle battery terminals for corrosion? A low battery can trigger all sorts of errors.

Thanks for the reply! Corrosion on the battery terminals, huh? I'll check that out. Could that cause a flat battery? Like, completely dead, needs-a-jump-start flat?

Corrosion can cause a parasitic drain, leading to a dead battery over time. Your symptoms suggest a battery sensor issue, as you suspected. It might be best to consult a workshop for diagnosis.

Great advice! It was the battery sensor. A new sensor and fitting set me back 315€. Everything is sorted now.
