Hi all,
Hope all of you are doing well on this Saturday morning.
I have got a 2017 UK version of Q7 and from a few weeks now my Start Stop functions has started to play up. When the car has reached the conditions for it to be on, it works 4 out of 5 times. The strange thing is that when the 5th time (the failing one) comes, it turns off the engine as usual on a traffic light but when it is time to start, it gives it a go and then it turns off the car completely with displaying of an error of Start Stop malfunction and garage is needed. Then I restart the car and error gets cleared, when the next time comes it repeats again. It is obviously super inconvenient to have this happen on a busy traffic light in London .
Now, I am not an expert but do you think that my car battery almost 6 years now and never replaced, can be the reason? I have noticed the fist daily start of the car is rather long one. I don't drive much either.
I am expecting that 4 out 5 times working will get 1, 2 out of 5 times working over the next few months.
I can easily turn the Start Stop off on the dashboard and drive for now but would want to have this fixed. I have booked the local dealer to investigate but the first slot available is in 7 weeks time.
Anybody had something similar and 2hat was the cause of the malfunction of the Start Stop malfunction on your end? What was the cost roughly?
