Hi! For a few months I'm an owner of a lovely Ibiza Bocanegra (you can see it here: , if you are a fan). 2 weeks ago the accumulator (battery, I'm not sure which word is used in English) drained, we replaced it with a new one. But since then - the windows cannot be opened from the driver's...

Did you know, that user manual forbids car owner to charge vehicle 12V battery? This was new to me and what direction we are going. When my car battery voltage low or battery is flat I need to tow the car to dealer and use tow trucks for that... what? Page 336 in owners manual: This "special"...

I have had a problem for about a year now, I have done lots of searching for fixes, I have seen quite a few posts on this forum, Audi forums, and Volkswagen forums describing the same issues but no ultimate solution, or people never came back to put them on the threads they started. The...

Hi all, I have just replaced my battery and now I have some weird issues with the car, more specifically with the automatic central locking and the cruise control. For the central locking, the car is supposed to lock all doors above a certain speed. Now that I changed the battery the central...

Hi all, Ive had my car a month and already had a few issues, the main one being a warning message that popped up along the lines of “drivetrain error, take to workshop” It turns out after connecting the car that the battery isn’t advising how much charge the car is holding and the temperature...

Hi everyone I'm having some sort of electrical gremlins with my Leon. It's booked in for work soon so im hoping this might solve the issue but until then i've been trying my best to either diagnose the issue myself or fix it with my limited skills and resources. Apologies this is a long thread...

Went to start car last Friday and it wouldn't and was also difficult to open with the remote key fob. The two days before it had only been used for a couple of 1 mile round trips. Put my battery tester on and it showed that the battery needed charging and 3 hours of my elderly Bradex charger...

Hi, The battery in Seat Leon cupra - how long does it long, or supposed at least? I know there's no exact science regarding the battery life, it depends on short/long rides, heat, etc'. Daily rides of 50 km in the city conditions, with almost constant hot weather - 3.5 years - is it considered...

Hi all I had to replace my battery over the weekend, stupidly let my niece and nephew play in my car and hadn't noticed they had left the interior light on. Put the battery back and all is ok, well a lot of warning lights that will go away when driven, but I now have an airbag warning. This was...
