What Causes a Roewe Car to Fail to Start?
2 Answers
Roewe car failing to start can be caused by issues such as a dead battery, obstructed fuel flow, or fuel system malfunctions. The specific reasons are introduced as follows: Dead battery: The characteristic symptom is that the starter begins to turn but lacks sufficient speed or power, and later the starter only makes noise without turning. Low temperatures in winter or forgetting to turn off certain electrical devices can prevent the vehicle from starting, especially when frequently used for short, low-speed trips during winter, causing the battery voltage to drop below the rated value, making starting and normal operation impossible. If this occurs, please call the service station for assistance or jump-start the car, then be sure to take it to the service station for a battery recharge. Obstructed fuel flow: The characteristic symptom is the absence of oil pressure in the engine's fuel supply line. This situation often occurs on extremely cold mornings due to long-term contamination of the fuel line. At very low temperatures, water mixed with debris can block the fuel line, resulting in failure to start. Placing the car in a warm environment can allow it to start after a while, or thoroughly cleaning the fuel line can resolve the issue. Fuel system malfunction: Insufficient fuel pump pressure, pressure regulator leakage, clogged fuel filters and injectors, or injector dripping are all reasons that can cause difficulty in starting or failure to start. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair.
Last time my Roewe wouldn't start, it was quite an ordeal. First, there was the battery issue – after several years of use, the charge was insufficient, especially in low winter temperatures when it discharges faster. Problems with the starter motor or relay can also cause no response when turning the key, with clicking sounds being quite common. On the fuel side, issues like a faulty fuel pump or clogged injectors can make the engine crank but not ignite. Then there's the ignition system – aging spark plugs or damaged ignition coils. The anti-theft lock function can occasionally trigger falsely, requiring the key to be unlocked again. My advice is to start with the simple things: check if the battery terminals are corroded, then test the voltage; if that doesn't work, take it to a professional shop to diagnose the wiring, to avoid unnecessary expenses on towing. Regular maintenance and replacing old components are key to prevention.
