2014 Blingo Multispace XTR Auto B9 1.6 eHdi
Hello all,
Apart from still (even after 1500 miles) getting used to the round auto Gear Selector, I'm still very pleased with my Blingo.
Just a couple of things you guys might be able to help me with. Try as I might I cant find the ATF spec and no it aint in the handbook. Also is there any way of making the auto STOP/START (ECO mode) default to OFF ?? It cuts the engine at even the briefest of stops and its bloody annoying. Also the limitation on the radio working without the engine running..... Very annoying in "picnic mode" where you get 1/2 hour of music, then have to restart the motor to get more. Can that be change to longer/permanent on ??
Many thanks in advance
Richard

Can't help with the first question but I agree, the start/stop I've had on rental cars is a royal pain. Regarding playing the radio longer, if you have access to Lexia/DiagBox then I'm pretty sure you can set the turn off to 60 min. Or, run a permanent hot lead to the radio. I believe some people have done that.

Yes I must admit the obvious answer didnt occur to me (permanent 12V), thanks for that.
No dont have Lexia, do dealers charge for perameters change ???
Thanks, Richard

You might find a sympathetic one that would do it for free. Perhaps someone on the forum with a Lexia that is not too distant from your location might do it.
