I've just taken my car into the dealers to get this checked out but I'd be glad to hear from any owners with BMT cars whether they have had a warning buzzer go off in conjunction with the stop/start light in the dash flashing on and off.
When I spoke to the technician he seemed to think that it wasn't working because the conditions weren't right eg battery charge too low and said this can happen if there are a lot of demands on power eg air con running plus lights etc. I doubt that this is the cause in my case, as it has done this after a long journey with very little drain on power, just air con and radio. Plus, when it switches off in a 'normal' way (waiting at lights only a short time after setting out, for example) the engine restarts and the light comes on with a bar through the A.
I don't think this can be normal as it isn't mentioned in the manual, but I'd like to have at much info as poss before discussing further with the garage, especially if you normally drive with air con on and radio on and it HASN'T happened to you.
They are being very good btw and I have a brand new Polo while they investigate. First impressions are that I feel cocooned in too much plastic and I prefer the dash on the up. Up 3doors all round visibility is also much better and the up is a lot more fun!
