Hi All

I have a 300tdi and have heard in past years it is bad to let diesels idle, the pistons glaze. Yet Ive also heard that modern diesels and modern fuel makes this pretty much a problem of the past.

Can you let a 300tdi idle for say 20mins at a camp site to give the battery a charge or something?

How long would be too long (healthy cooling system assumed)?

thanks in advance
