My guess s that like on mine, the battery is duff. If they can't find an issue, take it to another dealer.

Hi I have just heard back from citroen regarding my stop start. It appears that you can not have the stop start system working and the interior fan on, not aircon just the interior fan. So it seems you can either have air in the car from fan on,or you can have the fan off and stop start working but not both I wish I new this before I got car.

My guess is poor battery.
EDIT. Apologies, didn't remember my previous post.

My stop-start works with climate control on; if there isn't enough battery the engine restarts after a minute or so.

It shouldn't matter what is on, it is the load on the electrical system and the condition of the battery that determine whether the stop start works. The condition of the battery could be down to alternator issues. Our C4 Picasso, or new C3 and the one which was written off all functioned correctly with the aircon on, and when the C4 Picasso stopped working, a new battery sorted it. We operate the aircon on auto, and switch it off when not required, leaving the auto to run the fan, again no issue
