Hey, thanks for the tip! My car has 46617 km on the clock so far. By the way, the last major service was not too long ago. There were no particular incidents, everything was running pretty well until this problem suddenly occurred. Should I say anything special to the garage when I bring the car in for a check-up? Thanks a million, buddy!

Of course, colleague! I'm glad to hear that your car has relatively few kilometers and that it hasn't been that long since the last service. I would recommend having the garage look specifically at the vehicle electrics and wiring. When I told my garage about my problem, they found the fault quite quickly. As your car is showing similar symptoms, it could just be the same problem. Good luck and let us know what happens!

Hi mate, I had a similar problem with my 2010 Citroen C5, not a car expert, just a guy with some experience. Also had problems with starting and strange noises, it almost sounds like your car battery may have a problem. For me it was all mainly an electrical problem as it turned out. The solution was surprisingly free! The fault resulted from a consequential fault in the car's electrics. For some reason, the wiring in my car was not quite right and could be easily corrected in the workshop. Can you please also tell me the mileage and any previous problems with your vehicle? This could help me to give you more precise advice.
