Start/Stop... back to life? !
('19 Q8)
OK, I never liked this feature (that there was not an ability to turn this off, without having to do it each time I start up). It bugged me for a year or more after purchase - then, I never gave it another thought, as it never "stopped" on its own again.
Well, a few days after having my car in for service recently, I noticed that it cut off at a light. I was like "WTH?"...
So, now (after a good 3 years of it not happening), I have to once again turn that off every time I start up.
Anyone else have this happen?
THANKS

Is this the beginning of the BSG failure?
This is rather strange indeed. There are a series of conditions that must be met for the SS to not turn the engine off at a stoplight.

1) Do you put it in S each time you start the car without giving it a thought, and maybe this time it was still in D?
2) Did you buy it used? Maybe it was previously coded to be disabled (which I believe could be done with earlier series of the Q8) and then the coding was reset during your last service visit?

My two guesses:
1) Do you put it in S each time you start the car without giving it a thought, and maybe this time it was still in D?
2) Did you buy it used? Maybe it was previously coded to be disabled (which I believe could be done with earlier series of the Q8) and then the coding was reset during your last service visit?

Welp, then I’m 0 for 2. Maybe your car had been running “non-optimally” and as a result the conditions were never met for Auto Stop to engage, and your car is now running “optimally” after having it serviced? Not a knock on you or the car, just know these things are fussy and I feel like going 0 for 3.
