Give Skoda Customer Services a call on Monday and tell them you want a contribution as batteries should not be failing 3 months out of warranty

Well, after a week with a new battery the error is back! Happened twice today at the end of journeys.

 

Checking the battery SOC and it shows 80 or 90% so maybe the battery and the start-stop were different issues?

 

I'll give the dealer a call tomorrow morning unless anyone has any other ideas?

What DTCs (fault codes) does a diagnostics scan (e.g. using VCDS) show?

I don't have any files or to do a reading unfortunately. The garage said they didn't find any faults when they ran the test. Unless the codes were lost when the battery died?

If you get that error a fault code is most definitely logged.

 

This won't make you feel any better but when I had that error on my first O3 keep coming back it took them a while to fix ........

Thanks, Andyvee.

 

I can live with a fault with the system as long as it's not going to drain my battery and leave me stranded.

 

I'll speak to the dealer tomorrow and request that they check for codes, I'll show them the photo of the error too!

 

Unless anyone has VCDS near Gloucester?

Took the car in yesterday and it was reporting a ”module error". Didn't catch which module, sorry. Anyway, the module was working fine but the technician traced do a loose/broken wire and fixed that up.

 

Took about 45 minutes, didn't charge me anything. Hopefully that's it fixed now!

 

Should say, they reckon it wasn't related to the bag battery and that was just an unlucky coincidence.

Extra info

Hi guys, I picked up my brand new RS 245 today and on driving it home from the dealership, got this error, "Error: start-stop system".  This occurred after a stall, just as approaching a stop, and after the dash message read, "start engine manually".  I then switched off start-stop with the button in from of the gear stick, but the car manages a stall again....

 

I was so happy to pick up and drive this car...just a bit bummed there is already problems on the first day :/  Maybe I should have bought the WRX instead...

 

Anyway, happy to find this forum. I live in Australia BTW so I hope you guys don't mind me participating.

 

Cheers

I’ve the same sort of error but also have Engine Management Warning light on. Car runs fine, except for stop-start. Which is cause and which is effect? Is EM problem causing S-S to disable or S-S issue flagging up EM problem?

Just an update for my stalling issue, which I am NOT happy about:

 

The stalling seems to have been resolved, but I'm not happy about what the dealership have done to my car to achieve this.  Apparently, according to them, they did not do anything... aside from 'test drive' the car (and reset the 'adaptive learning' ecu) .

 

They admitted they could not duplicate the stalling when test driving, although I explained it only happens after the car is fully warmed up and been driving for 20mins or more.

 

Anyhow, the moment I picked up the car, I immediately started noticing things were not the same.  Starting the engine came with a strange 'whirring' sound.  It was idling rougher and seemed to lack the same power when driving then before dropping it off to the dealership. Almost like boost pressure has dropped a bit or maybe theres a leak in the intercooler or something. It just doesn't have the same 'punch' as before and is driving rougher.

 

Also, the brakes and clutch both feel like it was given an absolute beating - It basically feels like the car was stolen and thrashed and now has 100,000km on it... its driving rough and the clutch now feels clunky and jerky. Not smooth and cushioned how it was before.  The car only had 800km on it when I took it to them!  The brakes are feeling fcked too...

 

Of course they denied this, but I reckon the thrashing maybe somehow corrected what the issue was - perhaps the clutch position sensor or brake sensor was set too sensitive??   And maybe wearing both in violently somehow rectified the issue....

 

I have no idea but my car just doesn't feel or sound right anymore. It actually sounds like a diesel when I start it now

Stop-Start Not Available or ACC Not Available will be displayed for almost all engine related faults.

The fact you have a MIL light says its an emissions related fault so should not be related directly to StopStart .

This forum is very international 

this came up this morning..it went into limp mode..engine light is still on.16 reg octavia scout dsg

Mine turned out to be an exhaust valve sensor (?). It was this fault that was disabling the start-stop.

 

Sensor replaced and all OK now, start-stop back to normal. 

Ok thanks....did they have to plug it in

Yes, it showed up when I was there but cannot recall the specific code.

 

The odd thing was the EM fault cleared from the display intermittently on 2-3 occasions between booking the car in and it arriving. Seemingly pretty random. 

Guys,

 

I've got the same problem since few months..but its not that severe. i just need to stop and restart the car with the key manually and its good to go.

 

I ran the diagnostic and following are the details of it

Any idea what may cause this silly problem? thank you in advance.

Don't the AGM batteries only have a 3 year warranty in the aftermarket?

Hi Juan27

 

Didn't you have this issue with stop start and it was a known issue with the newer 245's, sure you posted a TPI for the error?

Varta AGM batteries have a 4 year warranty, other makes are available.

Yes Exide, Bosch, Lion and Duracell all have 3 year warranties on Euro Car Parts.
