Security issue Have you got a spare key? Try that one

Fuel filter?

The receivers for the tpms sensors are mounted, front and rear, on the lower part of the bumper. You have to partially remove a bit of the arch liner to see them They look like small tennis bats, clipped in, lying on their side Check if they’re all mounted correctly Otherwise, it’s failing battery(s) in the tpms sensors

You need to get the codes read Otherwise it’s just guesswork

Shop around… That’s robbery Or do it yourself, it’s easy and very considerably cheaper

Passive or non passive entry? Any fault codes? State of charge of your car battery(s)?

Same as mine… I’ve read of many egr faults and many potential repairs, i.e. removing and cleaning off/out the sooty tar that forms also running a cleaner through in the fuel (snake oil in my opinion). Few are successful and subsequently new egr’s are bought You can get an egr delete, but this is software and I’ve no idea of the cost Hopefully, the fault was indeed a one off and doesn’t reappear As for the code reader thing? Weird, I don’t have a scooby - I would try a different code reader first…

Particular engine?

Just do it for peace of mind

The stop start battery is the main (big) battery Do both of them separately

Yes it looks like a duff solenoid on the turbo or an air leak on the air intake

This could be one of the weird problems relating to water ingress of the central junction box Just a guess though….

I’d go for either a duff button or the wiring at the lock

Does it lock/ unlock with the fob?

Hmm… Not really the mileage for changing the oil. Obviously, it wouldn’t do any harm. If you do get it changed, remember to insist on the proper lifeguard oil and zf filter (which is incorporated in the pan), these two are critical for proper operation I take it this is just at start up, when the oil would be cold? Is there a leak, low on oil? This isn’t a quirk, it shouldn’t be doing as you say

When was the oil and filter in the gearbox changed?

Your car security settings have been scrambled You’ll have to get the module reprogrammed Dealer - will want to change the module and reprogram - megabucks indy - will reprogram only and be a lot cheaper yourself - using sdd, free

Not if it’s been serviced regularly

You should take it back to the garage you bought it from and get them to fix it for free It’s your rights after all, sale of goods act and all that…

I think you’ve got unbolt the seat at the front and tilt it back, then you can get to it check for dampness in the area

Did the battery light flash when trying to operate the windows?

Ok, worth a try… If your car is of the older variety, there is a b/tooth module below the passenger seat. This can suffer from water ingress. Check for damp carpets In newer cars, the module is in the centre console And in even newer cars, it’s built into the music centre bit - can’t remember it’s name… so, what I’m saying is - it’s probably a duff module!

Niaz Are the windows opening with their actual door buttons or the drivers door buttons? as for the locks, they fail quite a lot and the only option is a new lock or replacement internal lock motors

Lunar Only disconnect the battery neg if you know what you’re doing You could land in a whole heap of pain if the window is making a sound when operated, it looks like something’s eaten itself in the winder mechanism

Anything plugged into the car’s usb? This can cause bluetoth problems
