Hey, thanks for your quick reply. This is actually very similar to what's going on with my Altea. I'd be interested to know how deep you had to dig into your pockets for this? Have you had any other problems since replacing the alternator and battery? I really appreciate your help!

Hey, no problem, always welcome! I really had to dig deep into my pockets. It cost €1000 to repair the faulty engine control unit. But since I've been to the mechanic, the problem with the car's software has been fixed. So yes, it was an expensive affair, but I haven't had any further problems since. I hope this helps you and fingers crossed it doesn't end up being that expensive on your Altea. But definitely get it checked, safety first!

Wow, that's quite a sum indeed, thanks for the clarity. It puts me under a bit of pressure, but you're absolutely right, safety always comes first. You've really helped me a lot, I really appreciate it! I will actually make an appointment with the mechanic soon and hope it won't be that expensive. Thanks again for your help and advice!

Hey, I can understand that a bit. I have a Seat Leon from 2015 and the last time I was in the garage, my car also had a flickering light and a warning light in the speedometer was illuminated. The guys at the garage first read out the fault memory. It turned out that there was a problem with my alternator and battery - probably nothing to do with software. They had to be replaced. Of course, it's never nice when it happens to you, but check it out. It could be something similar in your case. Pretty serious, but doable. Hope this helps you a little!
