static timing refers to mechanical timing, when you bring engine to a point. this will be crank TDC, then cam TDC, and for us is the timing pin in pump.
so id like you to clarify what you mean as your static timing. it seems your VCDS, which is the inj pump timing. you in recent post stated your unable to check the mechanical timing. this would be a good starting point to check,verify first. then move up the check list, which would include air in your fuel system, also have you changed out fuel filter? this can cause stumbling problems. perhaps could seem to come up on VCDS graph as a timing change, when something else (ie bad fuel filter) is the culprit. fyi air filter needs to be changed usually.
you seem to have some fixation for fuel temp. we cover engine temp here, if its up to temp VCDS will,should read. fuel temp is handled by the ecm & your VCDS. i dont really see its importance for this discussion.
another point that power service pretty much suks, i dont know what you thought you were accomplishing using that cr*p. use better stuff. 1 new fuel filter, then run a full can of diesel purge in a full tank of fuel. i suggest a better fuel conditioner. im not really a fan of power service, and i personally am of the opinion mainly it doesnt do much(beside the fuel system lube its supposed to perform, then again there are much better choices, not as many may be available at your local crummy auto parts store).
