Seat Tarraco Battery Issues

My 2020 Seat Tarraco diesel is causing headaches. It has about 155248 km on the clock. The battery seems weak on startup, and the lights are flickering badly. I suspect the battery sensor, but I'm not certain. Has anyone else seen this?

I had something similar with my Tarraco. Weak battery, flickering lights, the works. Have you checked the battery charge level? Even with battery maintenance, a dodgy sensor can cause mayhem. I'd start with basic battery testing to rule out other possibilities.

Thanks for the quick reply. What battery testing did you do? Multimeter, or something fancier? Also, did you notice any patterns before the issues became consistent?

I just used a multimeter to check the voltage, but the symptoms really screamed sensor. Being unsure, I took mine for vehicle diagnostics. They confirmed the battery sensor. I'd recommend the same it's the fastest way to know for sure and avoid guesswork.

Took it to the shop as suggested. Vehicle diagnostics confirmed the battery sensor was the culprit. Replacement sorted the battery charge issue and banished the flickering lights. The bill came to 315€. Thanks for the guidance.
