Observation - For the last 3 months my cold start cycle has been running longer and longer, to the point where I was timing it out to about 2 full minutes. After these bad boys went in the CSS is back to exactly 60 seconds like when I first picked the car up.
Could be conflating things but the long CSS may be an indicator of TVA's starting the failure process.

Cheers,
Craig
Stage II tune switches off the cold start. Another thing to look out in these cars is the thermostat failure. Another DIY
