Sounds like car has shut down, they can only tolerate about a month of no use. Not sure though how to tickle back to life when this happens. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

How old is the Battery? sounds similar to a problem I had once and it turned out the battery had completely died.

Have you got any voltage readings, if a cell has gone it may have enough to power lights but not turn over the engine.

I would say the battery,I would try just for the hell of it unlocking the car with the the key in the fob then trying to start it,if it’s gone into shut down mode it may just help. |

Nope, I get everything this guy describes, lights, dash, beep beep of open door but when I push the button I can hear something happening (like a start cycle) but nothing from the starter 57 SE i6 |

Might be worth giving the starter motor a solid tap and if you can a volt meter on the battery when you hit the starter, see how much voltage drop your getting.

The voltage of the new battery? Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Try a jump lead straight to the starter motor check on you tube how to do it. Understeer when you hit the wall with the front of the car.

Flashing jump leads around a modern car is not a great idea IMHO. Every chance of shafting your electronics. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
