Hello Everyone,

 

I'm trying to figure out if this is a fault or not, the car sometimes doesn't stop the engine when expected. I have selected the start/stop status screen in the menus and had many legitimate reasons why, except for one "Engine must be running"?

 

It is!!

 

Have a look at the photo, you can see the engine's rev's are idle and the computer seems to think the engine is not running?? I know the speed is 2 mph but it is the same at full stop.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

For stop/start to work, the engine needs to be up to temperature, the battery needs to be at a good level of charge, handbrake on, seatbelt on, off the pedals and in neutral.

If your revs are hanging at around 1000  when idling, it's possible it's prepping for a DPF regen so keeps the engine running so the engine/exhaust temp can reach the required level.

Check, Check, Check, Check.

 

Yep all complied with although i'm on a DSG with auto hold.

 

So I wonder if it is a DPF regen?? It could have said that on the screen rather than a misleading "engine must be running"

 

Thanks for the advise.

 It is indeed the DPF regen, I have the same and if there is anything else stopping the S/S to work it usually tells me exactly what, but with the DPF regen it's just the general "engine must be running". 

Puuriit,

 

Thanks for the information, that is cleared up!

one of version is, Škoda installed smaller battery than required
EFB 59Ah instead AGM 70Ah
