Hi everyone.
My grandmother owns a 1.6 Stilo, and since last year she's starting to experience the uninteresting typical stilo electrical faults, with all the "Loose connection, ASR failure, ABS failure, Engine fault etc."
So my question is, would a worn/dodgy battery be able to cause the errors as well as engine cutout while driving?
Why I'm asking is that, we've had the ECU inspected and the guy found no broken solders, so he reinforced the ones that could look like failing within the next couple of years and returned the unit.
It was then reinstalled in the car and the same faults reappeared of course :bang::bang:
So we've now bought a new 74 Ah Varta battery, since the battery is around 6 years old and is probably due to changing soon anyway hoping that this could at least help a bit maybe.
Would any of you have any good advice of what this could be caused by?
Regards Frederik
