Hey there! Ran into a similar scenario with my 2022 Seat Ateca not too long ago. Same symptoms - slow starting, dim lights, like yours. Turned out, the issue was indeed with the discharged emergency call system battery. Despite the sounds of it, it wasn't a catastrophic issue at all. The mechanic simply replaced the battery and ran some tests to make sure everything was connected and functioning properly afterwards. Also, they checked my alternator just to rule out the possibility of it not charging the battery properly. Attempting to fix this on your own depends entirely on how comfortable you're under the hood. Getting to the emergency battery can be a bit tricky in these models. If you decide to go with a mechanic, just give them the picture of what's happening and mention my similar case. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Hey, cheers for the heads up! Much appreciated. I reckon I'll just hand it over to the pros this time. I'm curious though, do you remember how much it set you back to get it fixed? Also, has anything else cropped up since then, or was replacing the battery the end of it?

Hey there! You're welcome, happy to help. The mechanics sorted it out for me for around 110 Euro, a fair shake if you ask me considering the headache it caused. Since they fixed the emergency call system battery, not a cheeky blip shown up. Looks like tackling the battery problem was the key to sort out the dim lights and slow start. You're in good hands with the pros. Best of luck with the fix!

Appreciate it! Just what I needed to hear. Will get her over to the mechanic shop first thing in the morning and hopefully, it's the same simple fix. A quick €110 to sort it all out seems like a pretty good deal to me, considering the fretting it's caused. Thanks a ton for sharing your experience and your advice! You've been a real lifesaver. Cheers!

Hola, tengo un pequeño problema con mi 2024 Seat Tarraco, motor de gasolina, con un kilometraje considerable de alrededor de 167.079 kilometros. Me está dando la lata con una batería débil al encender, y mis luces son tenues y actuando todo raro. Sospecho que el problema puede estar relacionado con una batería vacía del sistema de llamada de emergencia. Tuve un poco de un áspero con mi mecánico la última vez. ¿Alguno de vosotros se ha enfrentado a algo similar antes? ¿Algún consejo para la visita al mecánico, o debería intentar arreglarlo yo mismo? Muchas gracias.
