A failing battery can cause all sorts of weird electrical issues so get that checked out 1st. | ||

I would think a battery would be the first to check too. Our C5 was acting up in a similar fashion when the battery was getting weak. |

You need to get a proper test done at an autoparts store that sells batteries, measuring the voltage is not enough | ||

ECU ? someting easy and small? but not easy when the car will not talk to the lexia. is it not same Communication with lexia as ex c5 modells of same year. getting a bit desperate. |

Since it sometimes goes & sometimes not, power connections do seem to be implicated ... When you changed the battery, how did you do it ... ? How about jump-starting (as in using another car & jump-leads) ? Are the earth connections OK ? Did you have work done recently (six weeks ago, say) which might have disturbed something ? |
