It's I want the improved economy of the SS, but it picking up the vehicle in front moving the distance of a gnats ballsack hair as a reason to restart the engine is frustrating. And I'd rather not turn off the system and manually mess about with the ignition as A) I don't get the benefit of the car deciding if it's optimal to turn off the engine and Manually messing with the ignition is a worse flow than messing with the gearstick.

Apologies for not reporting back, I ended up buying a newer lower mileage model after I got more than expected for trade-in and the original vehicle had just sold. I have a question and I figured here was better than a new thread. The stop-start system picking up the vehicle in front inching away has been annoying me to no end. By accident I noticed that while start stop is active I can put it into gear, thereby stopping it starting the engine when the vehicle in front moves, then I simply put it back into neutral and the system picks up where it left off. My questions are is there any potential damage from this, and does the vehicle provide a warning if the battery runs low from things like HVAC? I assumed that under normal operation of the stop start a low battery would restart the engine before it became a problem.

Yeah MKIII, spotted it immediately after but can't edit. I need to check on the Taxis possibility, condition seemed good when I had a quick look, other than the driver door handle feeling clunky, but I'll give it a more thorough look over.

According to the dealer, 1 owner and "service history". Water pump and timing belt are on my list of things to check with the dealer. I had a quick sit in it today, but it was after work and I was too tired and not yet read up on what to look for with the model.

Hey all, Looking at a 2017 MKII Octavia 2.0 TDI with 150K miles on the clock. It's comfortably in my budget, but with the high mileage, and the fact I'm hoping to own the car 5 years and put another 125K miles on the clock, I'm a little concerned. Is it too tall an ask, or can I comfortably expect it to eat up the miles? If I do go for it, what should I be looking out for?
