Hello, my nissan tida hatch with a standard six transmission and a 1.6L engine has sometimes trouble starting.
the car has 98000km or 61000 miles.
i turn the key and click, after some re trys I can generally start it.
tempeture rarely goes below 46F in winter which is now if it helps
the battery was replaces in February but i have learned now that its a 400CCA one.
any ideas or help welcome. Thx you
Put a charger on a battery and try to start the car. If the situation is the same, you might have a bad starter. Have someone hit the starter while you turn the ignition switch, if the car starts, you know the issue.
Sorry for the late reply, it was a starter that had gone bad, after its replacement it works perfectly.
No problem. Thanks for the update.
Sounds to me like a bad starter.
But first connect a battery tester and see if your car charges it properly and the battery is in good health - batteries nowadays are disposable crap.
