I got a strange issue on my D5 SDV6, 2017 model. It started with a camera system fault error, and after a while the dash board and touch screen turned dead. No respons when pushing the start button. Coupe light, rear door and key lock/unlock was working fine. After a while the dash was working again and I was able to start the car. But the same issue came and went for many days, I got the car to the garage without finding the reason. They checked the most obvious earthing points without finding any fault. The car has now been fine for a couple of weeks, but I’m not confident that the issue doesn’t come again.
My best guess is that there is a wire some place that has even a bad connection or are occationary grounded, but to find that one in one in a million…
Appreciate to hear if anyone found any similar fixes!
Best cars in the world when working!
