What are the common faults that prevent the Roewe i5 from starting?

Common faults that prevent the Roewe i5 from starting may be due to a depleted battery. Specific reasons for the failure to start are as follows: Spark plug failure: Spark plugs are crucial to the car's ignition system, so the performance of the spark plugs affects the overall working performance and efficiency of the vehicle. Depleted battery: The characteristic symptom is that the starter begins to turn but the rotation speed is insufficient, and later the starter only makes abnormal noises without turning. Gasoline flow obstruction: The characteristic symptom is no oil pressure in the engine fuel supply pipe. This situation often occurs on particularly cold mornings and is caused by long-term dirt accumulation in the fuel line. The car can be placed in a warm environment, and it will start after a while.
As a homemaker who frequently drives the Roewe i5 to commute, I've encountered the frustration of the car not starting several times, most commonly due to insufficient battery power, especially in winter when low temperatures cause voltage drops. A depleted battery leaves you completely stranded. The check is simple: listen for sounds when starting—if you only hear a clicking noise or no response at all, it's likely a battery issue, followed by a stuck starter motor or loose wiring. Another potential culprit is ignition system failure, where aged or carbon-fouled spark plugs prevent ignition. Fuel system problems are also quite common, such as a damaged fuel pump or clogged filter. For temporary relief, you can use jumper cables or a portable charger, or tighten the battery terminals yourself. However, it's best to schedule regular maintenance at the 4S shop to avoid breakdowns that could disrupt your child's pickup schedule.
