:)Reading through the Octy 1 forum I found information about HOT STARTING problesm with Tdi 110's due to a requirement to achieve 260 RPM during starting before teh injector Pump will allow fuel into the engine.

Is there a way to modify this parameter using VAG-COM or other to get around this problem?

NO.

In theory, it could be mapped out, but there is no coding that VCDS/Vag-Com can change. The solution is to change the battery

Fixed by lubing the gears in the starter motor instead - all working well since then

Thanks for the help
