Or live in the artic circle, bet no one gets stop start operating up there.
BTW other car Suzuki it kicks in really quick and rarely doesn't engage.

@Mojo has it right, a slight touch on the brake pedal and it doesn't turn off, press a little harder and it does.
Also when getting ready to set off, just release the brake pedal a bit when your ready and it fires in to life, you won't move forward at this point.
Btw this is on a DSG i guess a manual will be different.
It used to be the first button i pressed once the van was fired up now, now i quite like the stop/start and it does help with MPG when the traffics heavy.

I don't like the future, I like the 80`s thats why I listen to absolute 80`s. 
Just pretend it's a car from the 80s that stalls allot...I don't like the future, I like the 80`s thats why I listen to absolute 80`s.
I thought I had a few of them, turns out I am just a shit driver!
A friend of mine had one of them, he liked it so much he set fire to it.
Don't personally know what the coding is but I am sure if you contact @Adams he will help you out . He offered to turn mine off the other week when he was coding my mirrors to fold on lock .
It is better for the environment, mpg and put no strain on battery. The minute it detects strain on the battery it restarts the engine.Am I the only one who hates the Stop/Start feature.
It is a real pain in the ass.
Not only will it take life away from the battery but it must put extra strain on the starter, ring gear and especially the Dual Mass Flywheel.
Just keep forgetting to switch off every time I get in the van.

I tend to only switch it off when in major stop/start traffic. As people have said you can try the gentle foot brake but I find that mine still goes off, you can also wiggle the wheel and it will restart. I tend to leave a gap in traffic so I can slowly creep towards and minimise the effect a little. I read somewhere that traffic can cause the DSG to overheat in long tailbacks.
I have a California so not sure if mine works the same as a Transporter, guessing it will be the same.
Does it really help that much with MPG, I'd like to see the evidence of that.

I was able to reprogram my Touareg to work like that, unfortunately haven't cracked it yet on the T6
More strain on the DMF and that quote comes from a head technician at VW
I'm thick but what is a DMF?
DPF would be my guess.(Diesel Particulate Filter)
Ahhh! Guess we will see if warranty claims start coming in, any weaknesses will show up and this forum will be the place to find out about it!
Probably dual mass flywheel
