WXC79 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello, new to the forum. Just a quick question I would like to ask to help with my sanity. I recently bought myself a lovely new 2015 Fiesta ST-3, 1500+ miles in the first two weeks of ownership, what a fun car! I've just taken it off to the garage to get the MP215 pack fitted, for some added fun. While it's in the garage I have asked them to take a look at the Stop/Start function as it seems to have stopped working. The garage has said to me that they don't believe that an ST comes with Stop/Start, but I could've sworn blind that the engine was cutting out when I was stopping at traffic lights etc... I am aware, from reading the manual, that the Stop/Start function will not work in Sport Mode & also it's a bit twitchy relating to various air-con settings, battery levels et al. (I tried all sorts of permutations & couldn't get it to work again). My main question is, am I going mad?! Does the ST or ST-3 come with Stop/Start or not? I am convinced I had it working for the first week or so of ownership, perhaps I'm so used to driving another little 1litre Ecoboost Fiesta that has Stop/Start, that it's thrown my brain off-kilter. It seems ridiculously hard to find any information online about the ST having Start/Stop. A few sites mention it, but mostly it doesn't seem to come up in various searches, most likely because it doesn't have Start/Stop;) Please help my sanity and settle this matter definitively, once and for all.

Nathan54771 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 No the ST model doesn't have stop/start, my St-3 certainly doesn't anyways and all the others I know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WXC79 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thanks, I am just going mad then! Ah well, they can all have a good laugh at me when I pick up my car tomorrow;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXC79 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Cheers. At least I know it's me losing my mind and not the garage trying to cheat me out of fixing it! Newbie indeed;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Glad to here that you're enjoying the ST3 (and soon to be MP215 - don't tempt me :D). Don't be worried about the Start/stop blond moment, I forgot that the ST didn't have it after swapping from my Zetec to ST and had a mini whinge in the car with a work colleague who just laughed at me for the rest of the journey home :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
