Technical Stalling help for newbie

[Pippapanda]

I am new to driving my panda and finding it hard to understand if I am driving it wrong or there may be a mechanical issue at play
It does not have a stop start technology
Im finding that the car is stalling a lot at low speeds or when Idil
First the yellow engine light comes on, quickly followed by all the other warning lights and then it stalls. To get power back I simply turn the ignition key and give a few revs

Help please

The yellow engine light is telling you that something is wrong with the electronics controlling the engine. You would need to have someone read the 'fault codes' to say what.

But, the fact all the other lights comes on too is a sign that the car battery is in poor health. If the battery is bad, the voltages read by the engine sensors will be unreliable, and so the system 'fails safe' and turns on the warning light and puts the engine into a low power 'safe mode' (also called 'limp mode').

I would suggest as a first step, have the car battery replaced. Do you know how old the battery is? If it's more than about five or six years old, especially if the car only makes short journeys, it will be rather past its best.

A new battery for a non stop-start Panda is about £80, plus a bit more for fitting it. Places like Halfords or KwikFit can do that for you, or a local garage. (They can also check you battery first to see if this is what's wrong... )

@Pippapanda Welcome to the forum!
You should get in touch with @Adam1984. He's from Liverpool, too and by now he has some experience and learned knowledge about Panda.
You'll never walk alone!
