Seeking Advice on 2023 Seat Tarraco's Alarm System and Battery Issues

Hey there! That sounds like a similar issue I had with my 2021 Seat Ateca. To be clear, I'm not a car expert by any means, but I do have some experience tinkering with stuff. I took my Ateca to my local workshop last winter when the anti-theft alarm system started acting wonky. Turned out it was coded to activate some kind of optical locking thing. Doesn't mean much to me, but the bloke at the shop seemed to know what he was doing. Anyway, it cost me about 45 Euro to sort out. After that, no more issues, so it might be worth asking your mechanic about something like this. Quick question - have you noticed any other peculiar behaviours on your Seat? Might help me give more accurate tips. Good luck!

Hey, appreciate the reply! Well, to be honest other than the alarm glitches and weak battery, there haven't been any other irregularities as such. My Tarraco has been running smooth overall with nearly 195919 km on the clock. Take care!

Hey again! With almost 200k km on your Tarraco, it sounds like you're really getting the best out of it! Based on what you're saying, and my own experience, I’m pretty convinced an anti-theft system glitch could be causing your woes. Now about that weak battery, it may or may not be related. Starting issues could be due to a low charge or a battery nearing the end of its lifespan. It’s common knowledge that car batteries tend to give in around their third to fifth year, so if your battery falls into that timeline, it might be wise to consider a replacement. So here's what I think: take it in for a check. Ask your mechanic to delve into the anti-theft alarm system, and also get that battery tested. And hey, it never hurts to give the whole vehicle a once-over while you're there! I bet you'll get to the bottom of it in no time. Good luck!

You're a lifesaver! Your advice makes complete sense to me. The Tarraco is indeed around that four-year mark, so perhaps it might be time for a new battery. And I'll definitely have a chat with my mechanic regarding the anti-theft alarm system. Much appreciated and I'll definitely update you on how it goes. Cheers!
