Hey! Thanks for the quick reply. Other than this, there don't seem to be any other obvious issues, it runs pretty smooth otherwise. After your advice, I'm also thinking it could be a battery problem, but given that it's a fairly new car with 147310 km run, I do find it a bit strange. Perhaps the latest service might have messed something up, just guessing. I’ll have my mechanic look into it. Appreciate your help, cheers!

No problem! I gotta say, it is a bit odd for a newer vehicle like yours to have a battery issue, but hey, it happens. Sometimes, cold weather or an extended period of non-use can play a role. Either that or as you mentioned, something could have gone awry during the latest service. Another thing to consider is the alternator. In some cases, dim lights and trouble starting your motor can be a sign of a failing alternator, not just the battery. It wouldn't hurt to have both checked. Do update us on what your mechanic finds, yeah? Good luck and here's hoping for the best! Cheers!

Sure thing! I guess you're right, even new things can be faulty sometimes and checking both the battery and the alternator does sound like a wise idea. It's super kind of you for helping me out! I'll take it to my mechanic first thing in the morning tomorrow and will definitely let you know what he finds. Fingers crossed it's just something minor. Super appreciate your advice, cheers!

Hey there, I had a similar problem with my 2020 Renault Megane Diesel a while back. I'm not a car expert, just a fella with some experience from owning a few over the years. My workshop guys pinpointed it to a defective battery, replaced it and all was good. The cost was around 290 euro. Does your Arkana have any other symptoms? More info would help me share more detailed advice. Cheers!
