Does the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta have auto start-stop?

On some configurations. Yes on the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid. No on the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo diesel, 2.0L 4-cylinder and 2.5L 5-cylinder.

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.
