Hi Guys what a great Forum.
Today my Battery turned up dead because it was from 2014/2015.
An expensive X2 model from Batteries Plus
When I jumped the Car the dash gauges went nuts and I got the Dreaded Check VSC Message.
I have not been able to replace the battery because the whole state does not have one.
I may have the exhaust issue too because my car is mostly driven very short distances sometimes 2 miles and then right back in the garage after 10 minutes and stays there for 2-3 days without being driven.
Even the AC took a while to turn on after I had been driving for a few minutes to get to Batteries Plus and then the same thing happened on the Way back.
I will try and get the code read later today to see if I get the same ones above or different.
A Couple of days ago my garage opener control stopped working and perhaps because the battery was dying or dont know why.
How can I find a trustworthy mechanic or tell if they are giving me the correct answer.
I know the dealer will fleece me :-)

I just got my cars system checked as I was getting check engine light along side the low level oil (which I think is the problem of the engin oil censor ) first on the system check the check engin lights went away for a few mins and then both vsc light and check engin light came on

genuinely your quickest way to know is to get a £30 code reader off amazon. You’ll know in minutes what’s up the know .
I did this and it’s a big piece of mind

Gotta love the search feature. After 4 years over driving it 80 miles daily for work I finally got my first dash light combo matching these... I’m almost certain it’s an exhaust leak based on the startup smoke and exhaust smell. I removed the mufflers almost 2 years ago but about 4 months ago the exhaust started smelling. Gonna run the codes once I get my scanner.

To be fair I probably wouldn't worry too much. I stressed about this for ages. Change bank 1 o2 sensor, drove out of garage and had the exact same warning come back on about a mile or two later. I think its cat degradation but I'm kinda of the mindset it makes no difference to how the car drives so I'm not wasting the cash on a 17 year old car. It'll just keep running with a very occasional whiff of egg under full chat.
