Seeking advice on 2021 Seat Tarraco's cold start issues and possible faulty battery sensor

Hey there! I'm not a car expert, but have driven a fair share including a 2019 Seat Leon, very similar to your Tarraco. I did face a similar issue where my car had trouble starting. I took it to the local garage, turns out it was a faulty battery sensor microprocessor, same as your guess might be. Cost me about 315 Euro to get it fixed, not too light on the pocket! Now, just to help further, could you tell me more about your car? Like mileage, the last time you changed your battery, any strange symptoms in specific? Cheers!

Hey! Great to hear your inputs on this. My 2021 Tarraco's done quite a bit of a run, now sitting at 137,745 KM. Last battery swap was in January this year. No weird symptoms though, just the delayed start and a weak battery during ignition, as I mentioned above. Maybe it's time for me to head to a workshop. Thanks for the advice.

Hi again! Wow, that's quite a bit of mileage for a car that's not too old, eh? Given that the battery was changed earlier this year, I would still suspect the battery sensor. The symptoms you reported are quite similar to what I experienced. Just a suggestion though - perhaps also check if your alternator is working correctly? If it's not charging the battery well, we could expect similar symptoms. Although in my case, like I mentioned earlier, it turned out to be the battery sensor microprocessor. Do update us on what the workshop finds out! Always good to learn from fellow car owners' experiences. Cheers!

Hello, back at you! Yeah, my Tarraco has seen many roads in its short time! You've given me a lot to consider and the alternator could indeed be a potential suspect. Seems like a visit to the workshop has become imminent now. I'll certainly keep you guys posted with any updates on this scenario. It indeed is a great learning opportunity for all of us. Thanks again for your helpful advice! Catch you later, then. Cheers!
