#1: Issue trying to start the car Author: EioPago, Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2013 3:55 pm ---- Hello everyone,
sadly my 1st post here is about a problem rather than an appreciation.
Here is the issue:
When I turn the key the lights on the dashboard come on as normal but is sounds like there is no attempt to start the engine.
I realized the clock was reset.
The air conditioner does not work but everything else does, side lights, fog lights.
Could this be a flat battery?
If it is likely to be, which one would I need?
the exact model is 206, 1.4, 16v petrol (2005)- Sport
Please advise.
thank you.

Anyway, I will try a new battery tomorrow and take it from there. My main worry is if the alternator is faulty.
I'll let you know.
Thanks!
