Turn off engine auto stop/start

[Skyway]

If you have the SC then you can also create an Individual Mode and set Auto Stop to permanently OFF

Brilliant, thank you - very handy tip.

Urgh. That's very annoying. It's borderline dangerous in the Tiguan - doesnt seem to always want to start if it's straight after a stop. Will get into the habit of turning it off everytime I start it.

There's a difference between the Tiguan system and the Macan. In the Tiguan, if you have auto hold on, the engine does not restart after a stop/start shutdown until you press the accelerator. In the Macan, the engine restarts as soon as you ease off on the brake pedal (unless "hold" has engaged on a gradient or because you engaged it by pressing hard on the brake pedal.

My wife had a Tiguan and I had to get used to the differing behaviour of the two cars. Only yesterday, the Tiguan reminded me (during an overtaking manouvre) that it's 185hp down on my Gen 2 Macan GTS . As you have the R version, the difference will not be so dramatic.

Just tug the steering wheel and it'll restart.

Just spoken with one expert in the UK who has done it, so it can be done

In my Jag you needed to disconnect the separate battery or the fuse.

Useful thanks, will check out that hold function.

The 'R' on the Tiguan means just shiny bits and tech toys. There is nothing to rave about lump-wise - it's engine bay is full to the brim with the mighty 1.5L Turbo for incredible whizzing around experiences!

That's the R Line. The Tiguan R has a similar engine to the Golf R with over 300hp.

And so it does... just looking at it. Well, we definitely don't have that, ours is a MY 2020 R-Line, 'POS'!!
