I think I know the answer to this, however:
My PFL 8V 1.6TDi has recently started to take a little while longer than usual to start the engine on a cold day. So when I turn the key, the 'Engine starting' info doesn't pop up on the display as quick as it did a month or so ago.
Also, the stop/start doesn't function as often.
I know we are getting to colder weather but does this also show signs that the battery is on its way out? I'm not sure if it's the original or not. And when the battery does go, what sort of signs do I get that it's happening or does it one day simply fail?
