Have had a search but couldn't find the answer to my problem.
I have just had 2 single colour LED strip COB lights fitted. I noticed last night that when I start up the Eberspacher heater the lights flicker for a few minutes whilst the heater is starting up. Then after a few minutes as the...
Hello everyone, not sure if anyone has had this issue but it is worrying me. I have a 2016 T6 102 startline. Everytime I start the engine I get an initial clunk when the engine starts, then the engine runs fine. Then today I was in traffic with start/stop active. I depressed the clutch to move...
Hi all. I've noticed a rough/slight rumble to my Idle. It only happens when I've done some short journeys about town, low speed, stop and start & even once the engine is uo to temp. If I've been on a good steady run like my commute I don't get it. It's not the DMF I don't think as engaging the...
It will stop the hissing it I increase or decrease acceleration slightly. It will also stop if I put the clutch in. I've never tried it going down hill actually
StartStop and AC interact in a subtly more complex way than, say, the fan speed.
On mine the StartStop and Climate Control will activate with the AC on but it's clearly kicking the engine back on when it knows there is a demand on the compressor.
Hi mmi
All is good the garage have replaced the sensor yesterday and the van is happy. Stopstart and regen all working fine. Thanks once again for your help. Paul
Having had a few turbos I’ve always allowed the turbo to calm down after a fast run, eg pulling into motorway services. With stop/start, I turn it off or restart the engine if I forget and let the turbo spool down for a few minutes.
Never understood this detrimental aspect of stopstart - the...
There are 1001 things that disable stopstart, aircon, lights, climate fan speed etc, etc. It’s not a guaranteed thing that the engine will stop when the van stops.
Thanks for your insight Stay Frosty. I haven't really found a problem with the van starting. It can take a second or two to respond to the key being turned but I thought that was just a diesel thing. The stop/start is a bit intermittent though - sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. I just put it...
With the startstop system the start is entirely controlled by the ECU not the ignition lock switch - the ignition lock switch is just another "please start" signal.
On mine I'm now just used to pressing the brake (DSG not manual) and flicking the ignition on briefly. Try it on yours.
The warning isn't pointless if the van can't sense the position of the gear selector. You could damage the starter pinion trying to start a DSG box in gear and if it also disables the startstop (I can't recall if it does) then that may be an MOT issue as it's emissions related.
