Greetings All, Whoops, I started this in the wrong place, so sorry for that. Hopefully, this is the correct place.
I get the feeling you guys have the same attitude to 'auto start-stop', as I/we do? Not that we want to deactivate it, We'd like to swap it over so that, when you start the car you have to make the selection to activate the option, rather than stop it. Yes, I accept the principle of the idea but similar to exercise each day - it's not for everybody.
Not that I'm against the idea of a marathon so long as there are a few pints. quite a few really, available at the end.
So my question is, how do you 'modify' the switch to turn Stop-start ON, rather than off, each time you start the car??
Here in the 'sunny south pacific' - The Land of the Long White Cloud, we don't have the M25 to deal with but we do have 'stagger hour traffic'!!
She-who-must-be-obeyed, would like to purchase an Arona style, I tried to get her into an FR but I had to agree with her, tooo much technology.
So, the KISS principle won out.
BUT, the stop-start rubish is the wrong way around and if the operation of it can not be reversed, it's a show stopper.
She currently has a Mazda 2, 5 spd manual - which she loves but it's 11 yrs young now.
The DSG box is great, so it's the direction we want to go, rather than an auto box.
Cheers, Ian.
