Check Vsc

[Dexy]

Hi all, not having much luck on the IS front following the HG failure on the diesel just purchased the petrol , but on start up only I'm getting the red triangle and check VSC, the garage I've bought off think it could be a voltage fault as Battery reading 12.2 and 10.1 under load ? It isn't on whilst driving just when I depress clutch pedal to start, anyone heard of this? Feeling a bit disheartened although they have said they will sort it, any help appreciated.

That voltage does seem a little low. You can get weird fault codes generated because of this. Either the Battery needs to be fully charged, or replaced, and then see if you still get errors.

Thanks, he's sorting a new Battery for me on Monday, and has said if that doesn't clear it he will get it sorted, problem is I'm in Doncaster he's in Peterborough

Well? Is it all sorted and is your car okay?

Hi, oops forgot to update that ! Yes the Battery was kaput and once finally tracked down the oddball size Battery and replaced it, the warning light disappeared, should've realised because the dashboard lights seemed dim and I never twigged on. The guy I bought the car off paid for the Battery as good will. Loving the car it's costing me less in fuel than my BMW did too which is a bonus 😊

Yes Steve, think my love of German cars has ended for good 😂

Glad everything is now as it should be. Enjoy. :)

Thanks Colin, I still smile when I close the door and start it up 😆
