Starting difficulties and flickering lights with Peugeot 108 Diesel, year of manufacture 2020: experience and advice wanted

Weak battery when starting the engine

|

Dim or flickering lights

Hey guys, I have a question about my Peugeot 108 Diesel, year of manufacture 2020, meanwhile it has 44768 KM on it. I've had a few problems starting it recently, battery is a bit weak and the lights flicker or are quite dim. I suspect that it has something to do with the emergency battery of the emergency call system. Has anyone had similar experiences and can report how it was/was at the mechanic? The last visit wasn't great and would like to get some opinions. Many thanks for your help!

Hey mate, I had a similar problem with my 2018 Peugeot 308 diesel, it was a real challenge to start the car and the normal lights were dimmer than usual. So I took it to my local garage. After some tests, they found that the emergency battery was completely discharged, just like your suspicion. They had to change the emergency battery to make sure the emergency call system was functional again. It was quite a process, but it all worked out in the end. The good news is that the problem has since been solved. It's not exactly a small problem and you should definitely get it checked. But don't worry, it's doable and after that your Peugeot should be running as normal again. Hope this helps!

Hey, thanks for your answer, that was exactly what I was looking for! Do you happen to remember how much the whole thing cost? And have there been any problems since then, have you had to touch anything up or anything? Hope all is still well with you.

Hey, I'm glad I was able to help you! So, the repair of the emergency battery cost me €110. Everything went smoothly and I haven't had any more problems with the emergency call system since the visit to the mechanic. Don't worry, as long as it's fixed properly there shouldn't be any more problems. So everything is going well with the Peugeot. Hopefully this will soon be the case for you too!

Wow, thanks for the info! It's not exactly cheap, but if the problem is completely solved afterwards, I guess it's worth the money. I'll get my Peugeot in for repairs as soon as possible and hope everything goes smoothly. Your tips were very useful, thank you very much! Stay safe and hopefully your Peugeot will continue to be problem free. See you then!
