rosscoe63 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 i hope this isn't a repeat..Ive searched and don't think it is...... ....but an easy trick to permanently disable the very annoying start stop thing is to unplug the little connector thing that sits on the battery :-) (its connected on the left hand side of the battery closest to the bulk head). Its the sensor that monitors a battery condition for the function, and if its not connected it defaults to off :-) works a treat :-) IanC, flurbs, condi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSkoda Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 that sounds a lot easier than altering settings! do you get any fault lights on the dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPETEZx Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Does that affect anything else? Is that sensor used to monitor the battery for other functions? Do you get any error light / warning that its disconnected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscoe63 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 no error messages, nothing. I have a very good friend who is a master tech at VW and a bit of a car genius too........he did it without me knowing! Its a simple little plug and if he tells me that its only there to inform the start stop function then I absolutely trust him.

xPETEZx Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Sounds good On the mnaual, I dont mind the Stop-Start, as its easy to control. But on a DSG I would be very keen to try this. As when driven various Auto's with Stop/Start it bordered on dangerious when the car cuts out while waiting in a juntion etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes kev and VCP / Odis On the RS3 raising the Voltage worked to disable it, however on the FL R it doesn't..... It can be turned off in the engine module but there is no way at the moment to disable the error warning in the active info display. A retro-fitter friend of mine has developed a module that fits behind the switch, he's sending one to me so i can test fit on the face lift....... Apparently it disables S/S and there is no S/S not available symbol in the dash either, but it can be switched back on by pressing the button for dealer visits etc......

marshy Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 So this coding doesn't work on the facelift car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
