Hi,

My Octavia 1.6 suddenly start giving me an error: start-stop system. I took the car to a friend of mine that has a garage, and he connects his computer, but the car has no faults or error codes. The battery was replaced in 2022 with the original one, yet we tried a new battery, but the error still persists. The car runs fine, no power loss, nothing beside the error on the cluster, and after the error shows the rev stars at about 1000rpm

I drove over the weekend on motorway about 30 min 2 time at 3k rpm, yet the problem persist. When reading the sensor, one of the sensor show " -14" (I can ask tomorrow what sensor was) value, so the negative cant be good right, and since the last regeneration or whatever it's 280Km

The car runs fine otherwise, and when reading the codes, there are no error stored. I read somewhere that it could be a software issue. I have the VAG software with a clone interface, if I can read any values.

Thank you.

Just to make you aware, that having a RIP OFF VCDS is one of the red flags here at Briskoda.

Its not cool, supports only criminals trying to make a quick buck, and leaves your car with the potential of being bricked.

Avoid it.

If you canny afford VCDS, then please go and purchase a ODBEleven dongle. They are on discount (25% off) and a ODBEleven 2 dongle is perfectly sufficient for what you need. With my Scottish hat on - stop being so F**king tight.

Hey varaderoguy, no need to be like that, It's not like I'm making any money, or I use it every day. I bought it because a few years back, I bought a retrofit screen from here from a reputable member of this community from Poland, and he needed a backup of my setup before sending a unit to me. Since then, I haven't used it, as a mater a fact I did said I went to a friend's local garage, I did mention it not to upset anybody just maybe it could be helpful to identify the problem. But hey buddy, I'm sure you clean like snow, you never downloaded a map for the car or anything else, right? I don't need OBD11 nor 12 or 16, I usually go to the garage when I got a problem, I was just asking because with their system BERTON there are no errors recorded. But if it's going to course many sleepless nights for any of the members here, I will remove the post.

So I just bought the ODBEleven 3 with 200 credits, I will try to read the errors when I receive it.

I just realise, I bought the OBDeleven 3 device + 200 Credits, but Maybe to delete the error codes, or to check I need the pro it's only like €20 more. Should I cancel it and get the pro?
