Battery Degradation/Failure:
Extreme heat accelerates battery fluid evaporation and chemical reactions, leading to premature battery failure. European cars with their advanced electronics are very sensitive to voltage fluctuations from a weak battery.
Electrical System Gremlins:
Heat can exacerbate existing electrical issues or create new ones due to expansion and contraction of wiring. This can manifest as:
Intermittent warning lights
Sensor malfunctions
Issues with infotainment or navigation systems.
"Reliable Start" Battery & Electrical System Check:
Service:
Advanced battery testing (not just voltage, but CCA and internal resistance).
Alternator and starter motor integrity check.
Computerized diagnostic scan for electrical fault codes.
Inspection of wiring harnesses and connections for heat damage.
