C2 ignition failing to start intermittently

Unread post by Kieth1973 »

Help needed. My daughter has a 08 1.2 pertol C2 it has developed an intermittent fault, it starts runs and drives fine, used daily.
However when I first put the key in the ignition the ignition lights flash on for a second on then goes off when it does that the clock and radio reset.
It can do this a few times and then the light stays on (as it should) and the car starts first time and is fine. Been doing it for a while now, but doing it more and more now. (Daily)
Car had a good new battery a year ago, new battery in the remote hasn't helped.

Any known issues to check first.

Thank you 8-[
