Hi, did a search but couldn't find much. I've noticed (pls click here for video) that as of recently my MKV PD 1.9 Jetta 2007 TDI engine has been requiring more cranking to start when cold. When the engine is warm, there's no issue whatsoever; the colder, the worse.
The battery is relatively new (18 months since I replaced it), so I don't think that's the issue. I plugged in a VCDS-like cable and noticed one of the spark plugs is throwing a generic error; from another post, I was left with the understanding that even with one spark plug working, starting the engine should not be an issue.
Thank you for your input.
