2014 525 Not Starting

Creeky B · 02-25-2019, 04:59 PM

Hi all,
I have an intermittent fault with my car. When attempting to start the car. After pressing start, the engine turns over but doesn't start. After 10-15 seconds of trying to start, the car gives up and stops.

During trying to start the message 'Drive Train' or 'increased steering effort' is displayed on the NBT display. Even though the steering wheel is not touched.

After a few tries the car eventually starts.

Has anyone else experienced this?

At the moment the problem is intermittent, so I am reluctant to get it looked at, as most of the time the car is ok. So chances are they won't find anything.
