Stop/start technology on a Passat - doesn't restart.
I've had an intermittent issue with stop/start where my 2011 Passat won't start again when I lift my foot off the brake. I tried putting it into park, taking key out and trying a normal start but no joy. After several times putting key in and out... it started, so I carried on but switched off the start/stop.

Best to leave it switched off. A very annoying feature only there to get the car a lower EC CO2 rating.

I own a 2012 Volkswagen Passat with a stop/start system. Can you tell me if this will this result in rapid starter motor wear?

This stop/start function on our Honda Jazz 2016 does not operate when when stationary, possibly due to age of battery. Is there any significant difference in simply switching off and on after being halted...

Incredibly spacious as a saloon or estate, excellent range of engines and trim levels, comfortable and refined on the move.
