V40 Start Stop Fault

My 2018 Volvo V40 diesel with 220k km has a start-stop issue. The engine shuts off, but a warning light appears. Could it be the battery not holding enough charge?

Sounds familiar. My old Peugeot 308 had the same issue. Start-stop just refused to work. Have you had the battery load tested?

Load tested? I don't have the equipment. Can I check it myself, or should I take it to a garage?

Best to take it to a garage. My Peugeot needed a new battery, which completely fixed the start-stop problem. Get it checked professionally.

Thanks for the advice! I booked it in; they think it's a heavily discharged battery. They quoted 290€ for a new one fitted. Hopefully, that fixes it.
