Start Up Problem!
This morning it was 9 degrees Celsius. My car is parked in the garage. I start the engine. It was hesitating as if it wouldn't start. It's happened before and I thought it was due to the cold weather.
Well, this time I just let it struggle to start. 3-4 seconds later it did start but a "red" Battery/Alternator Visit Workshop malfunction came up!
What the hell's going on? Well, I drove say 3 blocks and turned off the car, took the keys out, and restarted. No problems and malfunction gone.
Anyone experience this kinda crap? What happened?
