Will start then stops after a few seconds.

Unread post by slackgarry »

C1 battery died so replaced it with nice new one.

Engine starts then dies. Cant rev it or keep it running. Engline light is on.

Any places to check 1st. Any known common faults.


Thanks
Kind regards

A bit of a random occurence, but Dormouse posted a video the other week about 'DiagnoseDan' doing some electrical repair work on a Pug 107 (C1, Aygo). He got to the stage where it would start and then stop. It was to do with needing to 're-align' the immobiliser. Have a look at the video from this start point and see if the problem looks the same.

Yes. I would try a BSI reset and then see where you stand - info in GiveMeABreak's threads.
Thanks Bobins. I think there is a thread today about door handles not working and Diagnose Dan has a vlog about damaged PCBs inside a BMW if I remember. Going back to have another look. Cheers.
