Hi all, more of less as title says, Got a 190 17 plate Sportline, twice now, today and about 6 weeks ago I've had the fans run on when stopping my car due to interrupting a regen, I know this is normal and normally I'd go for a drive to allow the regen to finish but both these times I'd just got work and that wasn't possible, I work 12 hour shifts and it's been cold but not freezing when I've got back to my car and on both occasions rather than turning over on the first spin of the engine as it has always done it took a 2 to 3 seconds and 3 or 4 turn overs for the engine to start, I've put it down to the fans running on and slightly draining the battery, anyone else experience this? is this to be expected due to the fans needing to run on? Or is it a sign the battery is beginning to fail?

Also how often do you expect a regen? My friend has an Audi A4 with exactly the same engine, he does 35 minute motorway journeys to our work and back every shift, I do 20 minute journeys on A and B roads to our work, despite the difference we've both noticed that our cars will do or try to do a regen every two weeks, he's spoke to Audi who's told him this is normal and with some research has found some info stating its so often now due to the software change from the cheat scandal, does that all some plausibly? 

Cheers all

I’d say it’s your battery starting to drop off, which shows more on a cold morning.

That's what I was thinking, anyone had a new battery?
