The starter motor in a stop/start based system is redesigned for the new requirement to being used once per journey to several times.Hi.
I gain on not having to pay out on Starter ring repairs. Being an Old Fart,and only having it on the car over here that rarely gets used... Over the years, on all the vehicles i have driven,the engine kept running until the key was switched off ,so there am i sitting in the car at traffic lights/zebra X's/junctions etc and realise the engine is off. This is where my..Lightning speed reactions come into play.. Clutch ,Key or Key Clutch... 1.I then get a scrunching noise to say the starter motor is fighting the flywheel. 2. I blaspheme,the people who built my/our Dacia Logan MCV in Romania hear this and fall about laughing. 3. OVERIDE it...Sorted. So,its an Age thing,coupled with not reading the owners manual,and having to get the S.I.L. to. A. Find it and B. read it and get it sorted. He has just "Re set " the TPMS. i DID find the Manual................ But its all in....... Portuguese.......DOH !!!

I like to get away from the lights, etc. pdq & it was rare for the car to be at odds with what I needed.
And there are words at this link stop-start-long-term-impact-your-car to suggest the engineers have thought of those situations where I want to go but he car is stopping
