After months of unbearable heat here in ATL we finally cooled down starting last weekend (mid 70's day - low 60's night but going to drop to mid to low 40's next week).
Well this morning it was probably 58-60 degrees (MFD said 62), hopped in turned the key and waited for warning lights to go out which is my typical start procedure on cold starts. Car has always fired off by the 2nd or 3rd revolution, this morning it was ~7-8 revolutions before it finally fired off. Engine ran just fine once started and did not act unusual, just took a lot longer than usual and took me off guard considering 60 is still warm in the grand scheme of the temps the CR TDI testing was subjected to.
I found the other thread but seems that is for the 2015+ Gen 3 engines with VVT. Also doubt its water in the intercooler - we had 95-100 degrees for almost a month straight with no rain and low for our area humidity.
Anyhow - this is probably the coldest the car has seen since I purchased in first part of April. What gives? Anyone else experience anything similar outside of intercooler icing issues?
