Mk7 Stop/Start System - Issues and Questions
So I was thinking recently about the use of stop start in my mk7 or indeed any car. While it's obvious that it will save quite a bit of fuel during long stops, there's no arguing that those short bursts of stops put a lot of strain on both the starter and the battery. One would think that the battery and starter would need to be replaced sooner because of the extra wear. My question is, would you be better off just turning start stop off in favour of using more fuel but saving the battery and motor?
