In the winter it rarely works, but there were days that were -20C and out of the blue at a stop light the engine would turn off, so the minimum outside temperature seems to be very low. I find around 5C-10C is when it works most consistently. Any warmer or cooler and it is sporadic. In comparison, any petrol loaner I've had always worked very consistently and predictably, not at all like my car. I mentioned it to the dealer, they gave me the usual answer, it's supposed to work like that. They did code it to remember the last setting however.

Thanks for the feedback.
So are we to assume that diesel is different and won't turn off as often. I see a 98% turn off rate above.
Anyone else with diesel that can provide feedback on their ASS function?
Thanks.
