Hi everyone I have an issue with the stop start system/alternator which is also affecting cruise control, reversing sensors, and power steering (which has stopped working). A new stop/start compliant battery was fitted 2 years ago but was not paired with the car. Very infrequently a red battery warning is displayed. The car starts and runs ok.
I've been told that the car is beyond economic repair just want expert opinion on here!
Thanks in advance please let me know if more information is needed to help diagnose.

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding to your post but it usually means that you have not had the right person read it. I have found this info about the stop/start system on your car which may help but other than that I'm about as much use to you on this as an ashtray on a motorbike. Sorry but good luck:

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

The truth is out there)). Most of the components are linked. Some of them trigging a strange faults thru can system. I would scan with diagbox to see what's what. Then trying to sort it out the faults.
