Punto Evo Sporting 135 - Start&Stop and Turbo cooling
I was wondering that given this car is turbocharged and it's considered good practice to let the engine idle for a minute or two to let the turbo cool down - how does this affect Start&Stop? Does the mechanism allow for cooling of the turbo? I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone on this! Until I do I tend to keep turning Start&Stop off to help prolong the life of the turbo. However surely Fiat would have considered this in the design?
