Guest evilhobo Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Hi All, I have an 05 plate C3 exclusive (triptronic automatic), I have had it parked on the drive since end of september. Ive tried to restart occasionally, unfortunatly I have struggled to start it today. I tried a jump start from another car, and there was some power going into the car but all we got was a couple of clunks from the engine and "economy mode active" on the screen. I know that the economy mode comes on if you leave the radio on after 30mins but how do you make it go away? I have now taken the battery out and am charging it in the house. Does it just need a good charge? or has the battery died? or worse, the alternator? Quote
paul.h Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 For economy mode to go you need to start the engine so will go once running again. Refit the battery following the procedure in the handbook (do not start engine until after a minute or so from switching on the ignition to give the electronics time to reset) otherwise you may get some odd faults.
