Re: 116d kakis
Do you keep your "Auto Start/Stop" turned on or off on your 116D?
My own preference is to manually turn it off whenever I start the engine.
My own reasoning (not very technical, just my thought process) for turning it off:
(1) Engine Mount wear will be high - Due to jerking of Engine forward whenever Auto Start
(2) Battery wear higher - Due to constant Auto Start/Stop
(3) Starter Motor additional stress - Due to constant Auto Start/Stop
The $$$ saved for Diesel mostly likely cannot compensate for the cost of earlier replacement for above.
I am wondering what are other drivers with Auto-Start/Stop's thoughts on this?

Re: 116d kakis
Thanks. Will make request to set "Auto Stop/Start" to Off by default, when go for 1st servicing. Still have 9000km to go .... so in 4 to 5 months time.

The stop/start mechanism wl drain out batt fast with other wear and tear components like starter and mountings , even though, the price of petrol and diesel is not much difference in spore, the mileage whch 116d gives ,saves a lot in fuel bills -26km/l, and for diesel engines, the engine overhaul duration is longer than petrol engine, for example if petrol engine has to be overhauled every 150,000kms diesel engines need overhaul only every 250000kms, so u save there too.engine very torquey compared to petrol. If u dont mind the sound of diesel engine i think diesel is a good saver.

Interesting to know why our car is a 3 cylinder turbo charged.
