Hey there, Well, isn't this a bit eerie? I've grappled with the very same issue on my 2019 Seat Ateca, Diesel variant; it's practically a cousin to your Tarraco. Now, I'm no car guru, but I'd say my level of car knowledge sits somewhere between low and some experience. The trouble with mine was it had a bad case of 'I don't want to get going today', same as yours. After a few bouts with procrastination, I finally hauled it over to my trusted local workshop. After a good once-over, they diagnosed my Ateca with a Defective Starter Motor. These guys know their stuff, and they got it sorted. It wasn't exactly a budget-friendly fix though, set me back 565.00 Euro. But compared to waking up to a car acting more like a brick than a vehicle, it was a price I was willing to pay. One thought though - could you provide a bit more info on your Tarraco? Engine variant, Milage? The specifics can do wonders when troubleshooting car issues. Hopefully, my experience sheds some light on your issues. Keep us posted!

Hey there, Interesting to hear about your similar encounter with your Ateca. Got me a little calmer, I must admit. The Starter Motor being faulty might well be the cause from what you described. Just to update you on the specifics, my Tarraco's Mileage is currently at 110237KM. I had its latest service done just recently, and everything seemed perfect at that time. Who could've guessed, huh? I'll probably follow your route and get it checked at a reliable garage soon. Although the cost is a bit of a downer, a functioning ride is crucial. Let's just hope they don't decide to empty my pocket. Will keep you updated, cheers!

Hey back at you! Ah, that's quite a bit of mileage, your Tarraco's seen some serious road time. I hear ya on the service thing, sometimes it's smooth sailing one day, then the next it's like "Surprise!". Cars, hah! Being in your shoes before, I know how nerve-wracking it can be. Getting it checked sooner rather than later is your best bet, my friend. After all, the cost might sting a bit, but being stranded somewhere with a non-starter? Now that's a real pain! Fingers crossed it's something that can be sorted without breaking the bank. Do remember, though, that a diagnostic test can provide a clear image of what's going on in there, and it can prevent tiny problems from becoming big, expensive ones later on. Keep us in the loop. Best of luck with your Tarraco, hope it gets back to its chirpy self soon!

Hey, thanks for the encouragement and advice! You're absolutely right, better to face the music now than halt in the middle of nowhere. I'll take your advice and have that diagnostic test done promptly. Whether it's a Starter Motor issue, a battery concern or a gremlin playing hide-and-seek, hopefully, it won't burn a hole in my pocket. I'll definitely keep you updated. Fingers crossed, and here's hoping my Tarraco takes the treatment well and reciprocates with smooth rides again. Cheers for now!
