If it's working leave it alone. Mines never been topped up from new.

Floodgates are open now😀

My car in cold weather always starts better than in warmer weather. In cold weather there is quite a long delay whilst the glow plugs do their job and then instant starting. In warmer weather most of the time the starter kicks in before the glow plugs have had time to work resulting in some lengthy cranking time.

No need for oil changes then, you're continually putting fresh oil in it. My tdi has has hardly used a drop of oil in 5000 miles.

Is that correct, 1 litre for every one thousand miles?

Going by my own experience, start stop only works if the car has been in moving. If I were to start my car and just leave it in park then it will idle until switched off manually.

Am I correct in saying that you left the car idling and when you came back the engine had stopped?

OP says it was coded.

There's only one fan

I just back up the old files, delete the old ones and copy the new ones on to it. I don't format.

How soon after fitting the battery did it stop starting?

But they're saying get the injector seals done? No one has has said this as far as I can see.

Seems you already have it in the best place. In an accident things can get thrown all over the place especially if the car rolls. I'd leave it in there.

Sorry, missed the title.

Couldn't agree more. My Varta AGM is original. Car is regularly left standing for weeks at a time and and starts with no problem. Stop start starts working after about an hour into the journey.

What engine?

Exactly. Seems a ridiculous guidance to me.

If the glow plug doesn't unscrew at the max recommended torque, what are you supposed to do?

Which sat nav unit do you have?

If you're lucky you may get an answer to your question😜

Could be the glow plugs

What engine?

I've just tried the website & it's working. I did this update without any problem a few weeks ago. Download the 2 files separately. Delete the old files from the sd card (make a back up copy first) then just drag the new files onto the card. https://mibsolution.one/#/1/15/MSTD

Th That's how it's set up. All normal. Turn the key to the start position and release. The glow plugs do their thing and when it's ready the starter kicks in. No further input from you is required.

If you can't charge the battery, can you get it jump started?
