Hey guys, This problem was finally fixed by the dealership, just wanted to share an update in case it helps someone else going through the same issue. So, as I said in the original post, I’ve been dealing for a while with a problem on my Škoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI DSG where the Start/Stop would activate, the engine would shut down, and then immediately restart (almost instantly). Car stops → Start/Stop activates Engine shuts down Engine restarts immediately (almost instantly) No warnings, no error messages Happens every single time, even with engine warm and no electrical load The dealeship went through a long diagnostic process, replacing the 12v (2 times) and auxiliary battery, to no avail. After getting to the point where they have to ask Skoda for info and ONE MONTH later, the issue was finally resolved. I didn’t get a detailed technical explanation (typical…), but based on what was being investigated and how the system behaved, the most likely cause was related to the vacuum system. Modern engines rely on vacuum (especially for brake assist). When the engine shuts down, the system checks if vacuum is stable. If there’s a leak or instability (e.g. vacuum hose / check valve), the car can: shut the engine off detect vacuum drop immediately restart the engine Ask your workshop to check the vacuum system early in the process! This might save you a lot of time, instead of going through batteries and basic checks first (like I did). Hope this helps someone 👍 (and sorry for the GPT assisted post)

So, after quite some time I left the car on the official Skoda dealership in my area and started the process for figuring out this problem. The car is still in guarantee so they say it has to go through the brand's process. Battery was replaced, charged and recharged - same result. This is under guarantee. The dealership now says it could be related with the telematic battery that needs to be replaced as well, but this is not under guarantee, so I'll need to pay the battery and work. Actually, they can't guarantee it will resolve the start-stop problem. It's getting a bit frustrated. Does this make sense? Could this telematic battery be related with start-stop problems?

I have already tested every combination of 'gesture', always does the same thing. The car was second hand but there isn't anything added to the car. This will be the third time I'll take it to the garage, they say they have a 'process' to go through - first they charged the battery, now they changed the battery - and I'm baffled no one tested these 'repairs'. I'm not sure if you just have to disconnect anything (I prefer not to tinker with it), but I wouldn't mind just disabling it at this point.

So, the battery was swapped for a new one under guarantee on an official garage, but the problem persists. Any idea?

To clear any doubts, I tested the system in every way, even charged the battery overnight, but to no avail. Still have the same behaviour. Should I take the car to service? Just get a new battery?

But it happens with me even if I don't touch anything, just having the foot still on the brake pedal.

The motor doesn't stay off when start/stop is engaged, it starts again half a second later.

But does it stay off when it does work? Mine never stays off.

How can I check if the battery is good? I have no other issue regarding battery, the car starts normally and works good even with everything turned on. I have tested pressing hard the brake pedal and not touching the steering wheel 😞 same result..

Hi! Just got in Skoda family last week and loving it, but my 2020 Kamiq has some issue with Start-stop. Every time the car stops and it engages/engine stops, it starts right after, half a second later, EVERYTIME. Even if it's just idle and I'm not touching anything. So on a regular usage it never stays usefully stopped. Anyone has had the same experience? Any solution? It doesn't bother me much not having start stop, knowing I have to turn it off everytime I start the car bothers me more.
