It was very interesting to think about the battery, and I do have my doubts, but with this model you never know.

A second service, at least another run of cleaning additives, was on my mind

 

but

 

it is now too late and I will never find out what was going on as I've just been in a car crash and the car is no longer derivable. I am sure the insurance company with write it right off.

 

Thank you so much everyone for your help, and I hope this thread helps anyone else. Who knows, I might end up with the same car again.

Shaken up indeed. This is day 4 of being on hold on phones  or thrown around between nonresponsive teams and getting nowhere.

 

I do like skodas and the the 1.6 tdi is actually my other car which I've had for 5 years  which has also decided to fall apart this week...
