Just been to McDonald's for a burger for the lad, quite a queue there. Behind me was a small VW with start/stop. Every time we inched forward I could hear his engine (a small diesel) splutter i to life, only to stop again about three feet later. It must have done it 7 or 8 times while I was there.
Surely this cannot be good for the battery/starter?
-
Not sure about the VW's but on the BM's it only does it when the Battery is in good condition.
Some one did tell me once that when its in that mode the Flywheel is still spinning, but cant see that myself.

It's a proper pain in the yaris if you're in stop start traffic approaching, say, a busy roundabout on a dual carriageway >:(
You can guarantee that it will cut out about half a second before a suitable gap appears, only for you to miss it due the delay caused by restarting...
Occasionally drive an automatic 7.5t with it, which tries to solve the problem by restarting in gear the second you either press the throttle or lift of the brake, which seems a bit retarded...

I didn't think they allowed motor cars inside McDonalds..... :)
Wouldn't it have been better to park outside and then walk in?...... ::) ::) :)

It's a new-fangled, American thing Opti, a drive-through. Doubt it will have reached Lincolnshire yet.

Nope.......and neither has decimal currency. I'm sure it will arrive, given time. :y

I've only driven one car with it, a B Class MB, you had to turn it of every time you started the car. No idea if they can be reprogrammed ..... I doubt it though :-\

Had a golf blu motion for a while. And yes, it's certainly does drive me insane too. Inbloodyfuriating!

Although, now that I remember, you could cheat it slightly by lifting off the brake pressure but not releasing the brake completely, so the car was running when the lights changed.
Those cars that I notice do have it, I find amusing by pulling up way short, then creaping forward, slowly. Especially if its a cock mobile. :-X

Isn't a diesel cheap enough to run without this gimmicky tech ??? ;D
Fair enough on a thirsty petrol car, But diesel Na definately not, Wounder how Mr DPF likes Stop/Start around town :o

Its all absolute rollocks.
Techos out there for real solutions as you all know, but some oil company is sitting on it till the last drop is used up.

start stop technology is not important on a single car basis but if you think hundreds of millions of cars running everyday * 365 a year * n years , it makes a difference.. :-\

I bet it makes a real difference to the amount of lead that's discarded from old car batteries. ;)

car batteries can be collected and chemicals may be re-used or destroyed properly.. but you have no chance to stop harmful gases once fuel is burned.. besides this fuel also is not endless.. :-\
-
Plus it should teach you to wait for enough space, then more forward slowly, then slow down gently giving the queue a chance to move before you stop meaning you don't have to keep stopping so much and nor do all the other cars behind you.

What about all the wasted fuel used in recharging those batteries, not to mention the fact that the batteries don't last.
And the longer travel times - where I work, we have enough trouble with 'tards waiting for rush hour to finish before pulling onto a roundabout, without this causing extra delays.

I'm afraid I said goodbye to the days when my car would stall at every junction when I sold my Morris Ital, and I'm not going back!

What happens when the engine stops? Does the Climate Control stop providing cold air? Do all the other electrical loads switch off so your back window mists up?

I'm sure there are oil tankers that are more responsive, and I bet they don't roll as much! I was forever cutting bits off the front mudflaps to stop them dragging!

No it's not. It has tried many times but so far has not succeeded. Probably as it is mostly the other side of the Bosphorus which is generally seen as the dividing line between Europe and the Middle East.

If it was me, and if the laws in Turkey were the same (I'm guessing not ::) ), I'd start a one-man company which imports cars and parts - and take one as a company car.

oh just ignore him. If he fixed all the issues with TSE he wouldn't be able to moan about it, would he, and no the exploding garage doesn't cut it this has been an issue since install. Lazy bloody admin ;)

Not too bad now the weather is cooling. Its usually about three quarters of a mile after switchover it gets arsey, just on hot mornings, thats when I'm at a T junction ::)

Ring it, see for yourself. 1 out of 3 calls he's in. Roughly.
Sounds similar to mine when it was running rich, except it fell over at wot and tick over.
Later in the journey it was ok, is. But always struggled just before fully warm.
Iirc your nozzles are too big?
I'll text you the number, again! ;D
-
Actually, I've got spare injectors in the garage, as I fitted some Prins copies.
I want to keep the injector blocks for now, but your welcome to the nozzles... I think they are suitable..?
-

I don't give it WOT until fully warmed for a couple of miles, but the tickover sounds similar. Did you ever resolve yours (before swapping injectors)

Undecided on exact cause. It might have been running rich, it may have been the moto gas injectors, (so no)
But its fine with the new injectors and a retune by MrWood, where it was found to be rich. Very rich. Causing missfires and fuel trim. Fueling backed off, all ok. Maybe needs another tweak, as it pulls away more if you lift OFF the gas at certain rpm in the midrange.
I'm considering a dyno session to get it nailed down, its difficult to tell exactly what the tune is like from the software.
But I don't think there was much difference in performance given the drive home from Sereks. Tbh.
-

Some of those roundabouts I nailed it as hard as I could, and seeing as I was in front, would have expected to have pulled away slightly, but if anything, I reckon you gained.
Note, I wasn't loosing traction, so not that
//Edit: Of course, with non SC5 tyres, and wider ones at that, maybe you were able to get on it before me :-\

Well, time to ring Tilo :)

Just innocently looked at this thread thinking it was about start/stop technology having just spent time in a Passat in Hamburg with this feature and found 5 pages of something else - silly me - should have known better
-
Start/stop tech is a joke and is nothing more than a way to get a slightly lower tax bracket for a vehicle.
