Hi all,

I've just changed my battery after it'd been on its way out for some time. (I'm sure the 5 min runs to the shop in lockdown pushed it over the edge)

But now when I turn the ignition on I get error messages for my stop/start, TPMS and lane assist.

Will these clear themselves or do I need to do anything?

TIA.

1) Have you told the battery management system that you have changed the battery? Otherwise it will assume you have the same knackered low capacity battery.

 

2) Most faults will clear after a drive.

I've not coded it as I don't have vag com.

 

Might go for a drive.

Tpms - take it for a drive, then check tyre pressures and reset it.

 

Lane assist - pass, but it’s probably ****ed off the abs readings don’t make sense. I’d try a short, slow drive.

 

The stop start probably is related to not coding it. The car won’t use stop/start if the battery management system thinks there isn’t enough charge to let it successfully restart. You will need to sort it.

I have the same problem now, changed the battery. 3 Errors, ESC, Tire, and transmission.

The problem that it does not start. one click and dong nothing.

Is the new battery actually charged? Have you checked it with a multi meter?

 

No reason fitting a new one would stop it from cranking.

 

The other errors should clear with a drive, as mentioned above.

Check that the battery post connections are clean and correctly tightened.

How soon after fitting the battery did it stop starting?

Battery died 2 months ago, just change yesterday as I was traveling. Someone told me that battery might not full charge. I’ll get a booster and try tomorrow. Thanks

I’ll keep you updated.
