Why does the Magotan fail to start and the dashboard flicker?
2 Answers
Magotan's failure to start and dashboard flickering are due to a depleted battery. Below are the differences between the Magotan and the Tiguan L: 1. Fuel consumption: For models with the same engine displacement, the Tiguan L consumes more fuel because it is relatively heavier and has greater aerodynamic drag compared to a sedan. 2. Power: The Tiguan L offers seven models equipped with either a 1.8T (330TSI) or a 2.0T (380TSI) engine. The Magotan continues with Volkswagen's TSI+DSG combination, offering three engine options: 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, and 2.0TSI. 3. Features: The Tiguan L's 1.8T model (330TSI) comes standard with xenon headlights, automatic headlight activation, LED taillights, roof rails, a multifunction steering wheel, a 4/6 split-folding rear seat, CleanAir PM2.5 dust filter, automatic rain-sensing wipers, keyless start, engine auto start-stop, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold function, rear parking sensors/camera, and heated exterior mirrors. The Magotan measures 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. It features top-tier Dynaudio audio systems, a large panoramic sunroof, and premium Nappa leather sport seats.
When my Magotan wouldn't start and the dashboard went crazy, I suspected it was mostly due to battery issues. Last winter, my car had the same problem - the aging battery caused voltage instability, making the starter buzz without ignition while the dashboard lights flickered like a haunted house. Possible causes include loose wiring connections causing poor contact, blown fuses interrupting current, or alternator failure draining the battery. I tried jump-starting it, and after solving the problem, a shop inspection revealed a blown fuse. I recommend you first attempt a jump-start; if that fails, check the fuse box and clean the connections. Regular battery maintenance can prevent travel disruptions.
