Seat Tarraco Battery Issues

I am experiencing some issues with my Seat Tarraco, built in 2018 with a gasoline engine, currently at 85300 km. The battery seems to be heavily discharged. I'm getting error messages in the speedometer, the lights are weak and flickering, and the error memory contains related errors. Starting the engine is also difficult due to the weak battery. I suspect a defective battery sensor. Has anyone experienced something similar before?

The conversation revolves around a Seat Tarraco experiencing battery issues, including error messages, weak and flickering lights, and difficulty starting the engine. The initial suspicion was a defective battery sensor. A similar experience was shared, suggesting checking the battery's resting voltage and considering professional inspection. Ultimately, the problem was confirmed to be a defective battery sensor, which was repaired at a workshop.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Whoa, that sounds eerily familiar! I've got a Tarraco too. I had a similar episode a few months back. Battery kept draining, dashboard lit up, and the engine was struggling to start. Was a total nightmare! Have you checked the battery's resting voltage, or maybe even tried a different battery charging approach? Just throwing it out there, might be worth a shot!

Thanks for your response! When you say 'similar episode', do you mean the battery was completely dead, or just weak? And did you also suspect a battery failure initially, or did you focus on other potential issues?

Okay, so yeah, 'similar episode' meant the battery was basically dead. Each morning felt like a gamble whether the car would even start. Honestly, I thought it was a simple car battery issue at first, maybe just old age or something. I even considered jump-starting it a few times, but the problem kept coming back. That's when I took it to a workshop. If the dashboard is displaying error messages and the lights are acting up, honestly, I wouldn't mess with it too much. Best to have it checked by a professional. Could save you a headache in the long run!

Thanks for the input. I took it to the workshop, and it turned out to be a defective battery sensor, just like you suspected. The repair cost me 315€. Hopefully, this solves the problem permanently.
