Wholefrost Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hi guys. I know there are two different topics here but here goes. Stop start for some reason this has stopped working I saw a video online about resetting battery. Tried that and not seen any difference. I know before my battery went and rac sold me another quite expensive as well. Next cruise control. This sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Does anyone know what his happens and how to fix sort this or either issue. Any help needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark-UK Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Yeah don't bother about s/s it just doesn't work, issues with cruise control would be my worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cheap part, 1hr Labour (iirc) Stop start ....it’s a lottery , people on here who don’t want it have it and vice versa. Personally I’m happy with it. You could scroll through dozens of threads , literally thousands of comments and be none the wiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColW Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Mine has started working again now the weather has warmed up a bit. Still doesn't work on the cold mornings but it works most of the time during the day/evening. I'm on a 2018 mk3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the switch is damaged and your vehicle thinks that the brake pedal is always being depressed, it won't let the cruise control turn on. Was described to me as a sensor. Maybe wrong word for it..🤷♂️ *brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I'm very worried and just don't know what to do. Yesterday I was out on a little round trip of 30 miles and the Stop/Start function worked 4 times. On Monday I will ring the garage and get it booked in. There clearly something major wrong as my car seems to have the only $#@£!@ working S/S system on this forum. Please can someone tell a poor demented soul on what everyone else must know - how do I get the Tree Hugger system to never work again ????? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, would be nice if the problem only affected stop / start, but that's just the first thing to go. Without some sort of intervention you then get the tinny sounding parking sensors, unable to listen to radio while the missus goes shopping, heated screens not working, key fob not working, total comms failure so you have to disconnect the battery, people spending hundreds on replacement "faulty" batteries. All this, and no doubt more, while having a perfectly healthy battery. No laughing matter if you get these on a freezing cold rainy day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did all this come from? I thought this was all good natured banter! Come on Alex, you just read it wrong, didn't you? 😀 As for the 'english' reference, with you being Scottish, and me Northern Irish, well, I get that bit 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi Alex, I'm not sure what you think was going on but I mean you no harm. Yes my Start/Stop system works and I hate it with a passion. I get sick of the 1000's of posts about Stop/Start it works for some people and not others but the subject as to why or why not has been done to death. As regards the value of my own car I'm not sure that is of any real importance but for the record it was £18500 bought from a Scotsman in Glasgow last July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy peasey... drive north from Dublin, major motorway all the way now, get to Belfast. (about 2 hour road trip) Then follow major route signs to P&O ferry over to Cairnryan, about a 2 to 3 hour boat trip. Any SatNav will show route. You don't even get shot at now, not like the olden days! LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a used car from a Glaswegian was your first mistake!
