Latest from Vauxhall re stop/start issue.Robg wrote: βSat Jul 27, 2019 11:02 amVauxhall Technical team have advised me that when the battery reaches 75% of its capacity then the stop start will not work, they say this is a trait of the car.Grandlad wrote: βWed Nov 21, 2018 6:22 am Rather like others I noticed that sometimes the start/stop wouldn't operate at the beginning of a journey but after a while would begin to operate. On other occasions it would operate right from the start. A bit of observation suggests an answer. If the climate control is set to 'auto' then start/stop operates when the target temperature has been achieved. If the climate control is not set to 'auto' then start/stop operates all the time ECO is set. I think this must be because of conflicting demands for electrical power and if there is any doubt about whether there is enough then stop/start is inhibited. With climate control in 'auto' the demand for power is variable and unpredictable.
Has any one else seen the same?
Have to agree, if something is fitted to your car as standard equipment then it should work. So the car has brakes to make you stop, so if the work irratically then thats justnew2GLX wrote: βMon May 24, 2021 8:03 pm Having purchased a vehicle with stop / start, I expect the feature which Iβve paid for, to work as expected. When it works it can be turned off. I have no confidence in the future of electric vehicles by GM/PSA if they canβt resolve a stop/start issue in current vehicles.
How did you get on with the update, I have downloaded the update from the web site but not sure if I want to take the chance in case it nackers up the satnav or anything else.spiro wrote: βTue Nov 24, 2020 3:20 pm Just a thought, I updated my satnav software today and kept the engine running while it was being installed and I wonder if you have to keep the engine running as the charge in the battery is not sufficient to install the software? It took 40 minutes and considering that the car is supposed to be environmently friendly the update process and with stop start never working it seems to defeat the object of the exercise and its enviromental credentials.
Maybe it could do with either Which or Clarkson involved to shake hings up a bit.
