Definitely CAN be caused by a failing battery. Just how bad was the battery condition test report?

Hello Simon, I hope you are recovering well from your operation. 4 months sitting idle not ideal for battery life, especially as temperatures are dropping. Are you able to borrow a charger from anywhere? Otherwise, worth considering purchasing a reasonable smart charger - occasional use of one can usefully extend battery life.

The battery is the first thing to check when getting seemingly random fault warnings on these vehicles. You should get the battery tested. Does stop/start work?

I'm certain that the Bolero does not support Navigation - that SD card is for the MIB2 Amundsen.

Hello Shelbs, welcome to the forum. What are the issues you have?

I don't believe that unit can support Satellite Navigation, I think it might be a Bolero unit.

If you have ACC, there should be an optical sensor (for the rain sensor (RHLS)) plus a camera.

Is the black exhaust smoke the meth injection kicking in - or just excess fuelling?

My understanding is that as well as the radar sensor in the front grill, ACC uses a specialist camera fitted to the screen behind the rear-view mirror.

Hello George, why did the glass 'repair' guy/gal hit it with the centre punch - did he/she consider the damage beyond repair? You may need to get the ACC sensor recalibrated at an independent specialist (preferred option) or dealer.

I repeat my suggestion to get a compression test done on the engine.

If CC is operating correctly, almost certainly rules out ABS sensor faults - therefore probably faults caused by failing battery, or bad terminal connections.

Do any fault lights show up at all before it dumps coolant? If you can get a DTC scan done, fault code P261A is one I have seen reported for aux. cooling pump issues.

First check would be to get battery properly tested - preferably with a load test. Another possible cause of those DTCs is a failed ABS wheel sensor - does your cruise control work?

EV = expansion vessel (tank) Fan kicking in when parking up is probably normal - either running a DPF regen - or simply calling for cooling because of vehicle stopping (no forward air flow) TSIs have an electric, auxiliary pump to circulate coolant for short period after vehicle stop, unsure if TDIs have the same, but probably - if aux. pump is not running when required, it is likely that coolant temperature (and pressure) will initially rise on engine shutdown.

Assuming engine is not actually overheating, check the EV cap first, it may be releasing (or not holding) pressure, allowing coolant to boil-off early. Do you know if your engine is fitted with an auxiliary coolant pump?

Hello, welcome to the forum. What engine do you have? Multiple fault codes such as you show is often an indication that the battery is failing.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Are you filling the expansion tank to the top - or just to the Max. line on the side of the tank?

That battery is in remarkedly clean condition for original fit, obviously very well cared-for.

So was almost certainly replaced during last service, good.

@apfm141 Your infotainment setup will probably be quite a bit different to Mk3 but check in 'Vehicle settings' - scroll to 'Mirrors & wipers' - is there a check box for 'Automatic wipe in rain' ?

Quick trip to specsavers.

Hmm, so the default value to be used if plated limit not readable - I wonder...

I will check my display tomorrow - one of the notes in that 2011 posting rang a bell for me - the mention of a 'tick box' to display oil temp in the menu. Ignore the reference to fixed servicing rendering the oil temperature unavailable, not correct.

@banzo7 I assume that you are not in UK, ACT came in with the 1.5 evo engine in UK, didn't it? 1.4 non-ACT up to 2016.
