Hey guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
So I’ve had my rcz for little over 4 months now.
Two days ago was the first time the car showed me the eco mode notification on the dash.
So as you’d expect it’s just the battery running low, I opted to get a new one and install it, seen as it’s not major technical service, and any self respecting petrol head would obviously take a whack at that.
So getting into the bay for the battery was an actual struggle but after half a pack of smokes, a few swear words here and there I was in.
I disconnected the battery and made sure not to let the leads just bounce around potentially causing a short
New battery in, (a Bosch 74AH) battery, basically what was already in there but just by a different manufacturer.
Closed it all up, making sure not to forget anything that had to be taken off it, and now....
Nothing, the car has power, the headlamps work, radio comes on and all, but she refuses to start, one semi loud tick (assuming the starter motor) and it goes silent.
Anyone ever had this issue ?
For what it’s worth; the only thing I could think of at this point were
- battery isn’t charged, seen as the eco alert pops up again
- the transponder doesn’t register the key anymore
(During the battery replacement of my previous car’s keyfob I dropped it and the transponder must have jumped out, the car did the same thing)
(To elaborate, my rcz had its battery replaced, not the keyfob)
Hope anyone can help me with this, it’s driving me up the wall
