I did change the car but I didn’t deem it a minor issue, in fact my wife’s words were “when are you getting rid of this car before it kills us”. I no longer have an Audi as it put me off, which is a shame as the rest of the car was nice. It could be said that I could’ve “modified” it to disable...

No I don’t feel the need too tbh but can understand if you’re used to doing it. For me, I prefer to keep to car to manufacture’s spec.

Yes, that is an option if you’re happy fitting an unsupported 3rd party device into the electronic systems of your car, I wasn’t.

Totally agree, I moved mine on before I had an accident at a roundabout due to the combination of this dangerous feature with the S Tronic gearboxes. I’d urge you to do the same.

I had thought this thread had died but it seems Audi are still ruining their cars by cutting the engine before the car has come to a stop. What a shame as this ruined a 2017 A4 Quattro for me, so much so that I moved it on 18 months ago after only just over 18 months of ownership. I know you can...

After a couple of years I thought I’d post an update. In the end, due to the DCT hesitation and dangerous stop/start, I chopped the A4 in May ‘19. The nail in the coffin was a comment from my wife : “when are you getting rid of this car before it kills us”. It’s a shame really as the rest of the...

Ive has the same with my missus too. She told me I couldn’t drive the car properly. Goes ok if I remember to turn it off but when I forget, usually have an incident. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree, an automatic should mean you don’t need manual intervention to avoid SS engaging at dangerous moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree, there’s isn’t a fault, my opinion is that it’s a very poor and potentially dangerous implementation of SS. It’s not easy to overcome, IMHO, ie no switch to turn off “rolling stop” in the MMI and owners need to implement unsupported and warranty affecting solutions. Sent from my...

I think we’ve talked about this in another thread and down to driving style. Not experienced any other system that cut in during a rolling stop which is dangerous IMHO. A device potentially voids the warranty and sport mode makes it race away. Horses for courses I guess. Sent from my iPhone...

I agree, SS is required and a good solution to reducing emissions, especially in built up areas. My objection is the “rolling stop” feature, which is not, AFAIK, implemented by other manufacturers. My beef is with the lack of engagement by Audi in that they refuse to comment. I suspect they know...

Yes but is less eager to cut out and never had my 320i cut out at roundabouts etc or when parking. The implementation in my wife’s petrol Polo is much less intrusive and needs neutral and fort of clutch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

An auto BMW only engage SS when the car is at a full stop and the brake applied. Much less intrusive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes and tried the switching off routine but forgot a few times which then meant I was looking down frequently at junctions to see if it was off, didn’t want the hassle. Didn’t want the s/w or dongle option either as was also struggling with the jerkiness of the DCT. So those 2 factors led me...

Good to hear. I’ve just sealed the deal on a 2018 330d M Sport. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m another one who hates this feature with a venom, so much so, I’m changing to BMW who choose not to implement SS in this way. I raised it with with Audi head office using Audi UK and they declined to respond. So voting with my feet, that’s the end of my Audi experience for the foreseeable...

You’re right, a manual gearbox is the best especially with a light clutch and positive action. I suspect a ZF does suite my driving style and the ZF8HP almost negates the need for a DCT, could also be down to mine being a Quattro and turbo diesel which incurs 2 more layers of lag. My 2013 F31...

It would be a matter of opinion, except, on a few occasions I’ve been caught out in normal driving with the car cutting out at key moments. The gearbox is great for fast driving but can be jerky in traffic, sometimes smooth, other times lurching. It’s the erratic nature that is unnerving and the...

That is an option...but...if you forget, the car is dangerous. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having owned both, the DCT in the Audi is great if you’re accelerating out of a junction but hopeless in town. The ZF8 is a good all rounder and reasonably responsive out on the open road but way smoother in town. My major gripe, which Audi Customer Services cannot help me with, is the way the...
