Hi all
Changed my Mk7 for a 7.5 earlier in the week and the stop/start seems to work a bit different and just wanted to know if it's the norm. Both are DSG.
As I'm coming to a stop, maybe 2mph, the stop/start kicks in and switches the engine off but as I'm still moving it restarts straight away. Doesn't do it every time though. Mentioned it to the salesman and he said it's just how the system has evolved over time and it's the system pre-empting the car stopping. They are willing to check it out as I've got to go back for another issue but just wanted to know if that's what it now does.
I also find the auto hold a lot more sensitive. On my Mk7 I could stop the car and engage the auto hold and the stop/start never kicked in but on this one I find it a bit more tricky. The stop/start also kicks in sometimes once I've stopped with auto hold engaged, never did that on my old car.
Anyway, apart from this the car is a nice upgrade.
