Spurious alarms

[Pkb1956]

On my 2014 991 on start up after standing a few weeks, I get 2 or 3 alarms, normally auto start/stop, traction control, and low battery. Is this normal for a low battery, or is new battery required, or worse are the alarms real?

I am NO expert, but given your battery if original may be 10 years old, and that every voltage sensitive system in the car relies on it, I suspect it might be cheap Insurance to start by replacing it, or at least having it and the charging system checked out properly...?
Good luck.

New battery.............at times like these you're glad you swerved buying that McLaren. £200 against £2000

 

[Luddite]

£200...I suspect perhaps not if bought fitted and coded in at an OPC..?

Indeed! What is the OPC cost now, 400-ish?

Yes, I believe circa £450

 

[Rhodris-dad]

I underestimated inflation there

Last battery I bought was for my 997 and it was £150

........and the McLaren price is only the cost of the battery!
