Most of us won’t get past step 1 as stop start doesn’t work :D

Hi
Have been driving my B4 for 8 months from new , 5000 miles and 50% of my journeys are short, stop start has been fine especially the restart you can’t feel the engine starting, if you know what I mean, The stop start can be a pain especially in traffic and I understand you can’t turn it off on a B model.

You can't compare The SS on the B4 to earlier versions, it's totally different. It has a dedicated 48v battery, and the 48v generator is also the motor starting the engine. And because it's belt driven on the engine you get no noisy engagement and whirring as with traditional starter motors.

Agreed. Far superior to the slow, noisy S/S on my 3 previous Skodas. Used to switch it off every time. Could be a right heart stopper at junctions etc.

Our B4 is flawless with it.
