Does the 2013 Audi A8 have auto start-stop?
On some configurations. No on the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged and 6.3L 12-cylinder. The 4.0L 8-cylinder turbo is listed both with and without it, depending on the build.
Key takeaways
- Start-stop cars restart the engine many times per drive, so they are usually fitted with an AGM or EFB battery - replace like with like.
- Most systems have an off button that disables start-stop until the engine is next started; some models remember the setting.
