  • Stop/Start issues

    Just recently I've had no stop/start at all, it has happened before but it has always worked again I did get told last time it happen it would 99% chance be the battery but the last time it did it was 6 months ago.

    So question is anybody had any other issues with there's except the battery??????

    Mine never works as I've constantly got the air con blasting. Could it be you're using the air con more because it's been so hot recently?

              Mine started working after a few days of owning car, just needed some running i think, car had been stood at garage.
              Just getting used to it, yet tonight it played up, activated while moving, changind down gears approaching a roundabout. Had to stop for it to restart.

                My Stop Start managed to fail to restart the engine earlier, the LCD display on the instrument cluster went haywire and demanded I put the clutch down until it would restart. Got a couple of angry horn blows

                  have your battery checked, in the meantime turn stop/start off

                    I don't bother with stop/start and turn it off. Doesn't function if your battery charge falls below 80%, and it drains your battery anyway. Fuel savings and emissions reduction are minimal.

                      So the battery wasn't getting charge just due to its age looking at batteries there are £150 for Excide or Bosche
                      but found a lion brand one at £90 anyone used these batteries?

                        Yeah heard of them, does it carry a warranty? Most batteries do now. Have you tested the battery? My start /stop works really well, but after a week of short trips it works less and less. A good run of 30 plus miles soon sorts it out, will even work stop / start with fan and air conditioning on. Before spending are you sure you need to?

                          Yea all been tested twice 30% effiencent after a week or so stood tested it after a 200 mile trip was 65% efficient and the stop/start was working but thinking about a new battery anyway.

                          The lion battery has a 3 year warranty

                            Seems a decent price and warranty, even if 3 years 1 day its only £30 a year. Long as its from a decent dealer thats not going to vanish overnight etc.

                              Remember you need a start / stop AGM battery, not a standard battery
