Hi all!
I have a 308 SW 2.0 diesel automatic from 2016. The car shows two issues that I don't know yet how to solve:
- the main problem occurs from many months. Sometime when opening the car, automatic mirrors don't open and when turning the ignition on, the warning 'battery charge fault' is shown, together with a fixed 'service' message. When this happens, it is not possible to start the car. Turning off and on the ignition various times (sometime this is not needed, sometimes it is needed many times), at some point finally the mirrors open, the warning disappears and the car turns on. Once it turns on, the 'service' message in the dashboard remains, but it disappears once low beam lights are switched on (either manually by me or automatically). Car runs without any problems once it turns on. I brought the 308 to my usual mechanic and also to a car electrician, put a new Varta battery, alternator is fine and they did not see any other issue (the issue itself didn't happen when they had the car). This issue happens randomly, it may not happen for a few days, or happen multiple times in a same day. Electrician said the car is fine and not to worry, but this issue is annoying as I may be stuck not being able to turn the engine on. I read a BSI reset may help but I didn't try it yet, not sure if mechanic or electrician did it.
- about the second thing, I noticed it only recently (also because before changing the battery, start & stop was not working because of too low level of the old battery). When the car is in stop mode, gear in D position, there is a fast and continuous clicking noise in the engine bay. When moving the gear to N position (the stop mode remaining active), the noise disappears. I can't notice if the noise goes on when the engine is turned on, but I think no.
Has anyone of you had any of these issues? Any suggestions? I think I will bring the car to a Peugeot service in few weeks.
Thank you!
