RadX Moderator October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 No one can beat you in saving fuel man. I know you drive in neutral most of the time to save fuel, your GB will be brand new still HaaaaaaaEven those say whn parking it kicks in For me has never happened If it does, I nudge the steer it starts engine again Perhaps adapted to my driving pattern ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E60F30 Neutral Newbie October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 Seriously, no battery change in 4.5 years?!! Yes can confirm no battery change. I religiously use the start/stop. Car is 4 years and 4 months old with dash cam while driving and mobile phone cigg charger. Still going strong. Downside is when the battery does call it quits, gonna cost 4xx to replace.

Jungus 4th Gear October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 Rather do without this fuel saving than suffocate in our hot climate when the air-con is off during start-stop. You mean your start stop system stops the air-con? Really? I guess some ss systems do suck...! Yup consperm I show u my receipts Anyway of change and to AGM, costs In region of $400 wh is damn worth $400+ for 4.5 years is damn cheap man. Most of us pay more. Far more...

Soho 4th Gear October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 I am driving a merc CLA. My start stop system stop working last month. I sent in my car for 2nd servicing ( 30k) 2 month ago at 29900+km and inform the SA about the system. he told me workshop too busy, cannot finish servcing and checking within 1 day. So he booked another appt for me the following week. The following week, i sent in the car at 30150km. after servicing i was shocked that my bill had a additional $400+ for battery and $60 or $80 for battery replacement labour. My car was 1 year 8 months old. SA told me battery weak, thats why no Start stop. so they changed the battery without my consent. Worst is he told me battery warranty only for 2yrs or 30k, which ever is lower. damn du lan. die die tell me mine cross 30k mark, cannot claim warranty. I told him it was unfair that he told me the week b4 was too busy and ask me come back 1 week later. when it was 29+k , i already told him about the problem. bo bian , after much kpkb, he only wavied the labour and 50% discount on battery. if i know start stop gg to cost me $400 for battery, i will tell them not to bother replacing. my fuel saving over 1+ yrs also dunno got $200+ not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should drive Toyota or Nissan lah. Do you know what type of battery your car required? If you do read properly, I am unhappy with the way Merc SA do their warranty. their warranty for batt supposed to be 30k/2 yrs. i went in 1st time and informed them about the prob at 29900Km. they told me to come back the following week due to their busy schedule( i had a appt with them). a week later, my mileage is more than 30k, they refuse to honor the warranty. If its you, you du lan not? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
