The voltage is still there but not enough amps to power the starter. If it's not the battery then it'll be the starter motor but they're not a common issue on these yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Platt Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 It happened a couple of days ago as well when I brought the car, jump started it, took it to a garage and they said it was at 82% and a long run would sort it out but it hasn't 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, take it back and ask them to fit a new battery for free (but make sure it's the correct type for a stop/start vehicle). The fact you can jump start it proves it's the battery instead of the starter. And having 82% charge isn't really relevant at all, we know it had some charge when tested as you'd driven it to the garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil21185 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The dealer I bought mine from told me the badge thing had stopped but the still supplied a couple for free for me. Did a ***** job of putting them on mind... Apparently they are 'pennies'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
