Automatic Start/Stop Eliminator Deactivation Module for Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 8V (2012–2020)

Restore a more consistent driving experience in your Audi A3 8V

The Audi A3, S3, and RS3 8V platform is known for combining premium refinement with responsive performance. While the factory Start/Stop system is designed to reduce fuel consumption during idle periods, many drivers find the repeated engine shutdowns and restarts intrusive during everyday driving.

This automatic Start/Stop eliminator module allows you to keep your preferred setting without having to press the Start/Stop button every time you enter the vehicle.

→ The Start/Stop system is automatically disabled at every startup.


Built-In Memory Technology

Once installed, the module remembers your last Start/Stop preference and automatically restores it whenever the vehicle is started.

Simply deactivate the Start/Stop function once using the original factory button. From that point forward, the module will maintain your preference automatically.

Need to reactivate the system?

Simply press the factory Start/Stop button and the vehicle immediately returns to normal OEM operation.

No coding, software modifications, or permanent alterations are required.

Free Shipping – 1-Year Warranty


Why disable Start/Stop on your Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 8V?

Whether you're driving an efficient A3, a sporty S3, or the high-performance RS3, smooth power delivery is an important part of the driving experience.

In urban traffic, automatic engine shutdowns can introduce unwanted interruptions, minor vibrations during restarts, and a slight delay when moving off from a standstill. These repeated stop-and-start cycles can make the vehicle feel less responsive than intended.

By maintaining continuous engine operation, acceleration feels more immediate, transitions become smoother, and the vehicle remains ready to respond instantly whenever needed.

Many owners also prefer reducing the frequency of restart cycles placed on components such as the starter motor and battery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Auto Stop Start work​ ?

Auto stop start works by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop, then restarting it when you release the brake, press the clutch, or begin moving again.

The system uses sensors to check battery level, engine temperature, climate demand, and other conditions before activating.

Does Auto Start Stop save gas​ ?

Yes, auto start stop can help save fuel, especially in city driving with frequent traffic lights and stop-and-go traffic. By shutting the engine off while the vehicle is stationary, it reduces unnecessary idling and lowers fuel consumption.

Savings are usually more noticeable in urban use than on highways.

Does auto start stop wear out the starter​ ?

Modern start stop systems are designed with reinforced starters, upgraded batteries, or alternative starting systems built to handle frequent restarts. However, repeated use can still place more demand on components compared with a vehicle without the system.

That is why many drivers prefer to disable it for comfort or long-term peace of mind.

Is start stop bad for your engine​ ?

In normal operation, start stop systems are engineered to work safely and should not damage the engine. Modern engines use suitable lubrication systems and components designed for repeated restarts.

Some drivers simply dislike the constant engine cycling or prefer a smoother driving experience.

Can you disable Auto Start Stop​ ?

Yes, many vehicles allow you to disable auto start stop using a dashboard button. In many cases, this must be done again every time you restart the car.

For a more convenient solution, many drivers choose a Start Stop memory module that automatically remembers the last selected setting.

How to turn off auto start-stop permanently​ ?

On many cars, the factory system resets each time the engine starts. To disable it permanently or automatically, the most common solution is installing a Start Stop deactivation module.

Euro Racing Parts offers Plug & Play modules designed to memorize your preference so you no longer need to press the button at every startup.

Is Auto Start Stop mandatory​ ?

Auto start stop is not usually mandatory for drivers to use. It is installed by manufacturers mainly to help reduce fuel consumption and emissions regulations.

In many vehicles, the system can be turned off manually, although it may reactivate after each restart.

How to fix Stop Start warning light​ ?

A stop start warning light is often caused by a weak battery, charging issues, sensor faults, or operating conditions that prevent the system from working correctly.

The first step is usually to check battery health, as this is one of the most common causes. If the warning remains, a diagnostic scan is recommended to identify the exact fault.
