Hey Guys,
New to the forum here so thanks for having me.. I couldnt find this topic or issue on the forum so hoping someone has some advice?
I Recently purchased my T-Cross HL 1.0l in December 2019 and have been having the following issues:
- Jamming (strugglig to start) on push start intermittently: VW said that the key sensor is behind the central cup holder and sometimes objects like keys in the cup holder can sometime interfere with the key signal. Understandable, so I am trying not to have anything stored or lying here to see if the problem does indeed stop..havnt had an intermittent start yet, but has only been 3 days. This brings me to the next issue which I thought may have been the problem originally.
- My clock and trip resets randomly but also intermittently. Now this made me think that the issue may be the car battery, which in my mind could also explain the jamming start, and I have noticed that sometimes when starting the car my cabin light flickers. I reported this to VW on a checkup last Friday, and they said the usual BS that no, the diagnostic has reported no errors so they cant do anything, ie there is no problem. I asked if they checked the battery and they said the voltages were normal and that the battery showed as good. They said I should record a video of the jamming start when it happens again so they can send this to VW for a possible fault check.
You would think that a brand new car should not have any of these kind of issues, and it grinds my gears that an official VW dealership depend solely on a dignostic print out and dont actually fault find, or check possible causes that may not be on a piece of paper.
Has anyone had similiar issues with their T-Cross? If so, was there a solution or possible cause?
Any advice would be appreciated and thanks in advance. Stay safe out there!
