Engine starting problems and weak battery in Seat Ibiza Diesel 2014

Engine hard to start

Weak battery when starting the engine

Dim or flickering lights

Hey guys, I have a slightly strange problem with my 2014 Seat Ibiza Diesel. The engine is struggling to start, the battery seems to be low on ignition and the lights occasionally flicker. I suspect that a fault in the engine control unit could be the cause. Have any of you experienced this before and could possibly give me a few tips to narrow down the problem and understand it better? I would be interested to know how your garage has solved this and what your experiences have been. Thank you for your help!

Hi, I happened to have a similar problem with my Seat Leon Diesel, built in 2012. I'm not really a professional when it comes to cars, but I have repaired a few things. When the problem occurred, I took the car to my garage. The mechanic there determined that the cause was defective or worn glow plugs. The repair then cost me 560 euros. Could you perhaps tell me how many kilometers your car has run and when you last replaced the glow plugs? With a little more information, I might be able to help narrow down the problem further. Hopefully that will help you!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply and the helpful tip! My Ibiza has 96235 km on the clock so far and the glow plugs were replaced at the last but one service. To be honest, that was a while ago, so they may well be due again. I'll have it checked at my garage. Thanks again for your help!

Hey, no problem, you're welcome! It sounds like you've already covered quite a few kilometers with your Ibiza. So the glow plugs could well be the culprit, especially if they haven't been changed for a while. So definitely a good idea to get it checked at the garage. I really hope I've been able to help and that your problem will be fixed soon. Keep us posted on how it turns out. All the best for the repair!

Yep, you said it! This little speedster has been with me through quite a few adventures. I guess it's time to give it some attention. I'll take your advice and get the glow plugs checked. Thanks for the support and I'll get back to you as soon as I have any news. Take care and thanks again, hugs to you!
