Battery drain doesn't show a fault on the gateway.

Sorry, I know that, I was just worried I was going to experience this due to the faults showing when I had a scan done.

Now the faults have gone and I've already bought a new gateway! Just highlighting my numptiness really!  :ashamed:

I had a think about the slow and longer cranking when cold. Unfortunately Mr Frost has stayed away for me to test properly but I am thinking that it is probably down to the oil temp and the fact the battery will be cold.

As and when Winter starts properly I will make a note but as far as I am concerned if it starts then its a bonus  :laugh:

It is a little better now we're sans frost. I suppose the battery is 3yo now and might be feeling its age a bit?

That in combo with the faults scanned just panicked me a little into thinking something was wrong. Best get this gateway on ebay, I suppose!

Simon, I'd be interested in the gateway if you wanted to get shot of it. Where did it come from and what revision is it?

Simon,

It just so happens that I'm after as I'm planning on replacing my RCD300 with a RCD310. What revision is it?

BTW. I'm a semi regular poster over on uk-mkivs but having recently bought a Mk5 Jetta I expect i'll be over here more.
