Why can't the Roewe start?
2 Answers
Roewe may occasionally experience intermittent starting issues. There are many reasons why a car may not start. Here are five common causes: 1. No fuel: This is an obvious reason, but some people still make this basic mistake in daily life. Always remember to check the fuel gauge when getting in and out of the car. 2. Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) to start. If it's in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the engine won't start. Some manual transmission cars also won't start if the clutch isn't depressed. 3. Dead battery: This could be due to a drained battery from leaving headlights on for too long or an expired battery lifespan. It's generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights or high-power audio systems can also cause electrical circuit failures. Checking for a dead battery is simple—just press the horn.
I've been driving a Roewe for several years, and recently had a real headache when it wouldn't start. Turned out the battery was dead - probably because I left the dome light on all day and drained it. If the battery terminals aren't tightened properly, you'll get poor contact, and insufficient voltage won't be able to power the starter. Some Roewe models have very sensitive anti-theft systems that will prevent starting if there's a key recognition error. First, check if there's any corrosion on the battery terminals - clean any leaks immediately. You can try jump-starting with a friend's car. If you hear clicking but the engine won't turn over, the fuel pump might be the issue. Don't delay - get the voltage tested or visit a professional shop promptly to avoid bigger trouble from breaking down on the road.
