Ok, stop/start doesn't work.
Dealer is telling me the battery monitor connector is broken. Apparently this is in the boot, below the boot floor. So they want £167 to fix it. Quite how this was broken I don't know, but it may be something to watch out for when buying a D4. I'm begining to wonder what was done to the car by the first owner ... |

1. Diagnostics and buggering about = £86.40
2. Labour = £47.48 3. Parts = £15.39 ------- £149.27 I suppose its worth knowing everything else checks out a-ok with no other issues. Car was washed and vacummed as well ... Last edited by Stevie; 1st November 2013 at 04:28 PM. |

Must be a common thing with people bringing them in, they actually have a handout about Stop/Start.
So for your stop/start to work ....
So basically it will work during a full moon on the 29th of February .... |

Same problem
I had exactly the same problem with my car and VCDS reported that battery monitoring was not working, so I checked the connections at the battery and sure enough the little plug was broken and knocked off. I managed to fix it myself, so it's worth having a look under the spare wheel. The location of the connector is a model of bad design as it is a fragile connector almost bound to get broken whenever anyone removes the spare wheel, which you need to do to get the locking wheel nut.
One thing I find most annoying about this model is the way that it is almost impossible to bring the car to a smooth stop. No matter how hard I try it always jerks or rocks back when you come to be stationary. This seems like something to do with the start stop or gearbox programming. Not quite as bad as the lurch that afflicted Jaguars and BMWs with ZF 6 speed gearboxes, but nonetheless it's unacceptable. |

Its interesting when the engine restarts after a stop/start it does seem to clatter a bit, more than I would have expected ... |
