Mine turned out to be the starter motor

Did you ever find a fix for this?

Yeah, both very tight. The fact it only happens when warm makes me think it’s some sort of sensor but I’m pretty clueless in this area.

Thanks for the reply. Yes it was coded and I don’t know about the battery being hot. However the problem is intermittent so I’m not sure if that rules out an overcharged battery. I’ve just spent a week driving around the country with no issue (even though this started before my trip), but now I’m back at work it seems to be happening every time the car has warmed up.

I have a 1.6 tdi superb 2017. Starts perfectly when cold, but intermittently when the engine is warm, it will not crank at all. It will literally just make one click noise and then nothing. At this point the coil light will flash on and off. After about 30 minutes it will start perfectly. I am currently also turning off the stop / start as this was also not restarting the car all the time. I had a new battery fitted 2 months ago and in my mind all these problems started then. I have been back to have it retested and they say all is good. The report is below. Any suggestions greatly appreciated as it’s not an ideal situation for a taxi driver to be in.

Sorry all for the delay in replying and thanks for all the help. Since my OP the car has performed ok, however I have been using the button next to the gear knob to turn off start stop each time I set off. Have also just got back from a driving holiday from Newcastle to Wales to Cornwall and back with no issues. However today it happened again when dropping off at Newcastle airport. Dash lights all seem normal, bower there was just a clicking noise. This is just instant and not the noise you get when a battery dies whilst trying to start. Also, the break pedal was very heavy to depress. Got a jump start, made it home and now starts as normal. The guy at the shop that fitted it, did connect a laptop and do something after installation. I have no idea what the previous battery was but it was fitted from new. Also just had a battery test report that seems to rule out the battery

Thanks for replying but Im not sure what Im meant to tell from those links. The battery I have is start stop and is 096. When I put my reg in that site it links to another 096 battery. Sorry if Im missing something obvious.

Sorry, the receipt says accustart 096 start stop

Pretty much a car immbocile. A few weeks ago my original car battery died so I called into my local car accesory shop and he replaced the battery. Since then I have had intermittment issues with the start stop not working. Being a taxi driver this can be abit of an issue when you are stuck in traffiv and it doesnt start lol. Today it happened a few times again and then just wouldnt start no matter what I tried. Stuck at a set of lights for 45 minutes. I gave it one more try and it worked. My question is, could the quality of the new battery be the cause? It is made by Lion and does say start stop on it. Cheers for any help. Andy
