Stop Start Fault?

Hi Guys,


Took my car C63s, to the dealer last week for a transmission software upgrade, door handle replaced and the stop start never seeming to activate, A on dash always yellow.
Picked up Thursday and told all fixed.
The stop start worked on the way home.


Today I drove 40 miles, all the temps where up, oils showing around the 80 degrees C etc, outside temp was 6.0 Degrees C but the stop start never worked, stayed yellow all the time.


I still think there is a fault?

There are reports of start/stop behaving erratically if the car has a weak battery. Could ask the dealer to test your battery and confirm it is working properly.

I always turn it off so was goin to ask for how to deactivate it permenantly without me having to do the driving selection ***. It doesnt really save much fuel anyway so better leave it as it is

I am a bit OCD where I want things to work as they should. Happy to turn it off when its working if I wish, just want it working right first.
I did get the following list of items from MB for the stop / start


Vehicle stationary (It was, many times)
Outside temp in comfort range (It was 6 degrees and did work at 4 degrees so must be ok)
Engine at normal temp and sufficient fuel (Had driven 40 miles and over half full)
Set temperature inside reached (Again after 40 miles, 40 mins driving should be)
Battery sufficiently charged (Should be after 40 mins unless battery faulty)
The windscreen is not fogged up (How is this checked?)
The hood is close (Obviously was)
Drivers door is closed and seat belt is fastened (Obviously was)

So for me, either battery faulty or fault sensing windscreen fogged up?

Just been informed by dealer that one of the active engine mounts is faulty and this might be causing the stop start issue. They are replacing it Monday
