Skoda superb iv 2020 plug in hybrid- check starter system fault

Featured Replies

Hi. I own a skoda superb iv plug in hybrid 2020.

This is the 3rd time when i have an issue with check starter system. Every single time when I go to dealership, they say nothing is wrong with the car. They can't find anything wrong with it.

I don't know what to do and where to go, because this happened in less than a year.

Did anyone had this problem before? Because apparently my 12v battery gets drained, but don't know why. And now I even bought a battery charger, charged the battery but the light is still on.

Hi. No I haven't yet, or at least may have an idea. I have some cctv installed on my car. First I had them fitted directly to my battery and after 6 months I had the problem with the 12v battery. After the cables have been moved to the fuse panel and in 1 month I had the same issue. Before it happened I've never charged my car. Than I started to charge it every weekend but still didn't helped. So I've disconnected them completely and in nearly 2 months nothing happened again, but I've been charging my car every 2 days. 

But I had to connect them back because due to my job I have to. For nearly a month now, nothing happened and I hope it doesn't. But it is strange because the company who fits the cctv, are fitting to even full electric cars, hybrids like mine and nothing ever happened. 

And if you use a dashcam there are big chances to drain your battery, from what I've been told by skoda

I’ve book mine in with an auto electrical really good from bury Lancashire he goes most likely it could a corroded wire or bad conductor from the starter system to the short + of the battery hopefully when it done I’ll tell you what the problem was hopefully first week of march ! Did you get any fault codes logged on the vcds ? lol start ignition position circuit high ? Also when it was happening did you notice that the start stop and Acc stopped working with flashing glow plugs signs ?
