Problems with weak lights and battery in Seat Exeo Diesel 2009 - suspected battery sensor fault

Weak battery when starting the engine

Dim or flickering lights

Hey, I have a problem with my Seat Exeo Diesel from 2009. Recently the lights have been dim or flickering and the battery seems weak when starting. I have a suspicion that it could be a fault with the battery sensor. Do you have any experience with this and could you give me some tips on how you solved the problem in the workshop? I look forward to your experience and advice. Thank you!

Hi mate, I had a similar problem with my 2007 Seat Leon diesel, I'm no car expert but I have a bit of experience with this sort of thing. I took it to my garage and they found that the battery sensor microprocessor was faulty. The repair cost me a total of 315 euros. Could you perhaps provide more details about your vehicle, such as the model and mileage? Then I might be able to help you more precisely. Hope that helps for now! Best regards!

Hey, thanks for your answer! I've already done 150000km on my Exeo. Did you also have problems like this around this mileage? I just recently went for an inspection, but nothing was noticed. Greetings back!

Hey, no problem! I'm happy to do it. I can tell you about your mileage, my Leon also had about that many kilometers on it at the time, I think it was about 145000km. Just like you, the garage couldn't find anything wrong with it at the last check. But shortly afterwards I noticed the weak light and the weak start. My garage then told me that the battery sensor could be responsible. Replacing it did indeed rectify the fault. I would therefore recommend that you address this and have it checked. You say you've been for a service recently, but did you mention the specific problem with the low light and battery? Sometimes mechanics don't look for specific problems like that unless it's pointed out to them directly. Good luck with it, and let us know how it goes! Best regards!

Hey, thanks for the feedback and help! I didn't address the specific problem with the lights and battery at the last workshop visit. Your experience has given me a lot of clarity. I will ask the garage if they can check the battery sensor and replace it if necessary. I hope that solves the problem. I'll get back to you when there's any news! Best regards!
