Car Owners, Beware: Is Your Start-Stop System Secretly Damaging Your Vehicle?
A recent video by automotive expert Eduardo de Los Santos, known as Los Santos, has shed light on the controversial Start-Stop system in modern vehicles, questioning its long-term benefits for car components. The system, designed to automatically shut off and restart the engine at brief stops like traffic lights, is commonly marketed as a fuel-saving feature.However, de Los Santos explains that while it aims to reduce fuel consumption, the constant cycling of the engine places significant stress on critical parts. 'Every time the engine starts, the auxiliary belt receives tension,' de Los Santos stated in his video. He highlighted that this can occur '30, 40, or even up to 60 times a day' with the Start-Stop system active.Beyond the auxiliary belt, de Los Santos warns that the starter motor, battery, and alternator also endure considerable stress due to repeated engagement. 'These components receive a lot of stress repeatedly,' he noted, suggesting they may wear out prematurely.For drivers who frequently make short trips or navigate city traffic with numerous stops, de Los Santos offers a practical tip: 'If you make short trips, drive a lot in the city, and have constant stops, it's better to deactivate it.' He concludes that doing so could save car owners money and prolong the life of their vehicle's vital parts.
