Stop Start Issue

[Casbantam]

Hi,

Can anyone offer advice on below?

When driving to work today as is quite normal in the cold weather the stop start didn't kick in. However after about a 30 min commute not stop start traffic at a set off lights the engine cut out.

However when the lights went green and I pressed the clutch down the engine didnt fire up. I had to turn the ignition off and start with the key again.

Is this likely a battery issue? Incidentally before today it hadn't been driven for 6 days but I always do a good 30 min drive to & from work.

1.2 TSI 2016 26k

Cheers

Hummm, did you notice that the car had handed out a warning that Stop/Start would not restart the engine, I'm sure that there is a situation where that can happen "now and again" with no single reason why, just a system malfunction.

Not quite the same issue as I have a different engine, and the stop start failed to work for about 3 weeks coming up with a warning/error on the multi media screen rather than the engine cutting out. The similarity lies with the fact that the car hadn't been used for a number of days and it was also during the previous Beast from the East cold snap about 3 years ago. I decided to leave it until my next service was due and get VW to take a look, however after about 3 weeks of normal driving it started working again and nothing was mentioned by the VW Service team 3- 4 months later when the car was being serviced. Its worked fine ever since with no issues

Thanks for the replies RUM4MO/Gee40

Maybe just a one off as not done it since. I turned off the SS for a day just in case battery was low and today just left it on. The SS didnt kick in once today though so maybe the battery was a bit low? Not had any warning lights so maybe like you say a random malfunction.

Hopefully rectify itself after this cold blast.
