HI all,
here'a thing I've been meaning to ask about for donkeys.
On the original battery, car (quattro Avant 2ltr) new early 2018 till mid 2021, the stop/start barely ever worked, if I charged the battery it would sometimes work. As well as getting spurious warnings, door child locks US, can't remember the others now.
After being fobbed off by Stirling Audi, in fact I think it must have cost more to kick the problem down the road, with me being in and out, loan car, "master mechanics" ho ho time, than address it, because the car was still in warranty, I then put a new battery in myself.
Stop/start worked for a time, then did'nt. Then, last Thursday, taking my wife into town, it suddenly started working, and at every set of lights. And it's now been working intermittently since. Longer days, less darkness ?
So, my question, eventually, is the stop/start operation governed/allowed by the battery voltage, I think it might be. And if so, is it possible to lower the setpoint voltage below which it becomes inoperative, so that it is more reliable, predictable.
Cheers.
