Hi ,

Superb with a 1.5 Tsi has has recently cut out twice with the car slowing down to approx 5mph.

Went to acelarate and the car stalled, floored the throttle and the engine sprang into life.

Really dangerous if you ask me but has anyone member on the forum experienced a similar issue ?

Stop start button now is pushed every time I start the car.

Can be normal behavior, which is why I've turned the bloody thing off. Its not just Skoda; all VW brands do it.

Having said that, I never had the car stall when touching the accelerator.

Thanks for your reply

My Karoq does that too. It's the most annoying thing ever.

I must check that out in my Polo where I only use Stop/Start as I see fit, but no problem with that.

I often move along in traffic, (stop/start enabled), in first gear with leg off the accelerator, the car will actually climb a moderate incline like this and I often take off without pressing the accelerator in heavy traffic, or even leaving my own drive, the only time I've noticed the engine cutting out before coming to a full stop is if I take it out of gear, then release the clutch, and let it coast up to the car in front or to the traffic lights etc.

automate that

-> Memory module for Start-Stop button

-> Permanently Disable Stop/Start

There is a reason why many of us have either fitted the start-stop memory module or permanently coded it out.

I have the memory module myself so I can still choose to use it, when I need it.

This is not just a VW thing.

The previous Volvo and Mercedes we had did this too.

I can't see any useful customer function for this except it allows the manufacturers to steal a few grams of emissions on the cycle.

It would be very easy to set 0 kph for at least 1s as a way to prevent stop start from activating (in conjunction with the driver brake pedal input).

Our Suzuki switch does this at anything below about 10mph but never causes an issue as it's a manual and restarts as soon as the clutch is touched.

Automatics are definitely where any problems arise.

10 MPH seems extremely high, mine is more like 3 MPH and because it is a manual then it will only do this if the car is out of gear and in neutral because even in first gear the speed never drops below ~ 6MPH and even if it did I would think the ECU would know this and inhibit the stop anyway, surprising as well that it doesn't know if its "in gear" if a automatic but maybe these DSG gearboxes are different?, anyhow it still shouldn't shut down the engine until the car is practically at a standstill, if mine just starts moving (say on a incline) the engine will restart before the speed even registers.

No point really comparing a Manual vs a DSG, then people not saying if a TSI or TDI and if a TSI (or even a MPI) then with or without ACT (eg 1.5 TSI ACT).

Then saying what year of an Octavia between 2015 & 2023.
