Haha yes same as mine - from 18K to 'shopping trips and occasional school runs!' Definitely not good for cars to only be use once a week.
Long Cranking 184

Yeah - mine barely has time to get up to temperature.
I'd consider changing to petrol but I'll see how things pan out.
I also watched the original video mentioned and almost ordered the parts, however mine is a CUPA engine code and doesn't have VVT.
I've recently taken mine to my local garage to have this looked at, they found no issues with the car but mentioned the OE battery could be the cause, as it's 6 years old now. They also updated the cars software so hopefully this makes an improvement but time will tell.

With the key in the ignition but not turned, close the doors and hold the trip button until it says battery charge, release button and see if you get a percentage.
Ah OK wasn't sure. Well mine has been at 50% and 70% and haven't had it not start yet.
Linde 5 ton fork truck at work does this also but only from cold, we just leave it running allday now works great as a heater at the rear lol

Did you find the problem of long crank? Ive been dealing with it about a year in my golf 7 1.6 tdi 105 bhp. No vcds errors! Some say it starter, others to replace valve fuel part number 5q0127242b.
Here my not so long crank on vcds scan
no idea if everything is fine.
