In this guide, we will see the main instructions on how to permanently disable the Start&Stop system on the Volkswagen Golf, using the VCDS software. First, we connect our computer to the diagnostic socket of the engine control unit, then turn on the ignition; the software will allow us to enter the appropriate section related to the Start&Stop and accordingly modify the battery voltage parameters (which will no longer allow the Start&Stop to function).

Finally, disconnect the computer and verify the successful completion of the operation!
