sharper Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 The stop/stop on my DSG R is a real pain. Is there any way I can turn it off permanently? At the moment I forget to turn it off when I start driving and the engine stops at the first junction. It's really slow to react and the steering goes heavy just as I pull way. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated? Do I need someone with Vagcom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A l 3 x Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yeah it can be done with VCDS mate, where abouts are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booth11 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Disable it with eitehr VCDS as mentioned or OBDeleven. The latter is a sort of VCDS lite that enables you to do this and a host of other tweaks. Worth considering if you think there might be other adpatations you want to make. Info on it here. And the coding required for diasbling Stop/Start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KashR Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 There's a gizmo that i've seen on ebay too for £30 that allows you to have it on or off... its basically a memory module that remembers its last state ie. if you turn it off, it stays off regardless, until you turn it back on - even if you turn the car off an on again. I'm hoping @TLining or someone else will be able to help me out for a beer token in the near future as it's also doing my nut in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam67R310 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 This is annoying me too on my R. Does the obdeleven require a android smartphone to work? If it does, then i'm snookered as I'm an iPhone man 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSkoda Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 is it the same coding for VCDS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a cheap device factored in it's still a relatively cheap way to do changes. sam67R310 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be done one of two ways - a method to change voltage or a method to change coolant temp. http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f197/disable-stop-start-vcds-tweak-94276.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keano Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Controlling the start/stop is better in the manual than the DSG from my experience so understand the OPs frustrations. The most irritating occasion for me is when you've slowing for lights/queue of traffic and it cuts out before completely stop. Something I have noticed the DSG does that is good is that when in a queue and the car in front starts moving, the engine kicks in and starts without my pressing a pedal. I stop mine in D and use autohold just for info. This then means that by the time it is time for me to start moving, the engine has already kicked in rather than waiting for me to press the accelerator to kick the engine into life and then to start moving, creating a longer delay. It must use the parking sensors/ACC to tell when the car in front is moving off but I find that pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does, then i'm snookered as I'm an iPhone man As Rebecca suggested just purchase a cheap Android tablet and use this with the obdeleven unit. Purchased mine from Amazon, went for a 7" Lenovo tablet for around the £45 mark if memory serves correct. It works perfectly with the obd app. It's a bit 'slow' when compared to my iPad but it does the job when using the obd interface. sam67R310 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manual does this too, at least in the 7.5. Makes start/stop bearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
