Did you try and program the modes in it?I only fitted it about 1 hour ago so have not tried it as yet, just hope I’ve set the stop start switch as per instructions.

I am of an age that if you pulled up to a set of lights or a junction and the engine stopped, you had stalled the vehicle.. I don't think that has ever left me..2 questions please
1. apart from the reason given in the product narrative above about serious traffic jams, why would we disable auto stop start?
2. how much was the cable, have you got a link to it @Rioja John ?
thanks
Yes I’ve given it a go and shortly I’ll take the van out for a spin and I will get back to you all.Did you try and program the modes in it?

Mine is a 150 manual and was built end Feb. I recall some of the changes that Rattlehead mentioned kicked in around Jan/Feb 21 around emissions, so could be that (I remember as it became the latest reason at the time around delays to orders) If it’s not that, can only assume it’s engine or gearbox related.No, it was on order. Built first week feb 21. Registered march 21.

It has been put on vehicles for emmission reducing. To meet figures needed to sell vehicles..
However it actually makes you use more fuel...
4 x Ramps - drive on fronts Jack up rears and put ramps backwards - loads of room to work and get a jack under the tank to drop it - or (apparently) tee into the diesel return for the feed! Have and get autoterm good heater and good service! Have fun!Any tips? I want to install a diesel heater, and had considered ramps but none of the 3 tonne ramps look sturdy enough. So considered a jack and axle stands from Halfords, but after reading your post wonder if it might be better to go back to ramps?
Any tips on how to do it?
How do you know it’s filled if you don’t know how big the tank is? I only ask as I have a panic attack every time I fill the tank with all the horror stories about the problems overfilling causes so I barely dare to put 10 litres in!My 6.1 never displays more than 5500 miles after its been filled.
The stop part of it is OK, it's the start bit that is doing unnecessary work for little or no gain.1. apart from the reason given in the product narrative above about serious traffic jams, why would we disable auto stop start?
We all have a button for it, and we can all control it with lighter pressure on the brake pedal, but the vans do so many other things automatically for us, why not having this being turned off be one of them too?I have the Start Stop function on my 2017 T6. It has the 7 speeds auto box. My brake pedal has two settings. Light touch to hold the van, leaving the engine on. Heavy foot results in the engine turning off. I can't see why I personally would want to disable the Start Stop, though I do have a button for it.
It tells me a max and min amount to put in.How do you know it’s filled if you don’t know how big the tank is? I only ask as I have a panic attack every time I fill the tank with all the horror stories about the problems overfilling causes so I barely dare to put 10 litres in!
