Starting difficulties and warning lights on the 2020 Citroen SpaceTourer with 194670 KM

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 2020 Citroen SpaceTourer. The car won't start, the battery seems weak, the lights are flickering and the warning light on the speedometer is flashing. I already have 194670 KM on the speedo and think it has something to do with a message error. Have any of you had similar problems and how did your mechanic solve them? Your experiences would be a great help, after my last bad experience I just want to be sure. Thank you in advance!

Summary of the thread

The 2020 Citroen SpaceTourer with 194670 KM is experiencing starting difficulties, weak battery symptoms, flickering lights, and a flashing warning light on the speedometer. A similar issue was resolved by replacing a faulty control unit that was sending incorrect signals to the BUS system, followed by a software update. The suggested solution is to have the control unit checked and possibly replaced to resolve the message error and restore the vehicle's functionality.

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2017 Citroen C4 Picasso. My car was also doing the craziest things and then it just wouldn't start. The symptoms sound like a faulty control unit. In my case, the control unit was also defective and sent incorrect signals to the BUS system. My mechanic replaced the control unit and updated the software. After that, everything ran smoothly again and the fault was gone. It was serious, but nothing to panic about. The guys at the garage sorted out the problem and I can now drive without any further problems. I hope that helps you a little.

Hey, your answer comes just in time! Your problem sounds absolutely identical to mine, so I'm pretty confident that it could also be the control unit. Can you remember how much you had to pay for the repair, i.e. replacing the control unit and installing the software? And has anything come up again since then or is your car running smoothly? I look forward to your feedback and thank you for your help!

Hey, I'm glad I could help you! The repair for the control unit cost me just under €1000 - not exactly a bargain, but it was definitely worth it. Since the mechanic fixed the message error, my car has been running like clockwork again. No more faults have occurred. So I'm completely satisfied. Hope it goes just as smoothly for you. Good luck, buddy!

Hey, thanks for the info! It's not exactly a penny, but if the car runs again afterwards, it's worth it to me. It's good to know that nothing has happened to you since then, that gives me hope. So now I'm going to go to the mechanic first and have the message error checked. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Thanks again for your advice!

When considering a Citroen C3, make sure to check the vehicle's service history and have a pre-purchase inspection done by a trusted mechanic. This will help ensure there are no hidden issues and that the car is in good condition. If you have any specific questions about the C3, feel free to ask!
