Starting difficulties and alleged battery problems with the Opel Signum 2004

Longer cold start time

Car won't start

Weak battery when starting the engine

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Opel Signum 2004, gasoline engine, 119541 km mileage. It takes longer to start when cold, sometimes it won't start at all and the battery seems to be weak when starting. I've had a bad experience with my garage before and I assume that the battery sensor is going crazy again. Has anyone had similar experiences and can give me a tip on how to tackle the problem? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2007 Opel Insignia, it was actually the battery sensor microprocessor that was faulty. It wasn't a serious problem, but it had to be fixed at the garage as it was affecting the starting of the car. They had to remove the sensor, replace the microprocessor and reinstall the whole thing. A specialist should be able to do this relatively quickly. Have a safe journey and hopefully it's nothing worse with your car!

Hi, thanks for your advice. I think I should also have my battery sensor checked. Can you remember how much the repair cost? Has anything else come up since the repair that could indicate a possibly related problem? I'd like to be prepared for any other surprises. Thank you.

Hello, sure, I can still remember it well. The repair for the battery sensor microprocessor cost me €315. Since I visited the mechanic, everything has been running smoothly again. The fault with the battery sensor has been rectified and there have been no other problems so far to indicate that something else could be broken. Definitely get it checked to be sure. Hope this helps you!

Hello, thank you very much for the helpful information. That gives me an idea of what I can expect. A price of €315 sounds fair and if that's the solution to my problem, then it's worth it. Reassuring to know that no further problems have arisen after your mechanic visit. I will take your advice and get my battery sensor checked. Thanks again for your help!
