Does anyone run a car with the new Stop/Start Technology ?
Do you have it switched on or off ?
Do you think it's worth the extra wear n tear on the Starter Motor & other engine parts for the amount of fuel it saves ?

It works automatically if you use it right. You can turn the system off.

Stop stat technology is nothing new, I had an omega years ago with a duff idle control valve. Every time I stopped at a junction it would cut out ! (Early vectra's did the same) :lol:

Does yours work with the seat belt off?

Mine doesn't and that's just fine for me and my starter motor.
