Only 200A peak crank. Wont do for a 1.9tdi
Bought based on high reviews. Wish I had gone with my gut instead.I have a 1.9tdi VW Bora, has a common engine used in alot of VAG vehicles '99-'05. Takes a high amount of crank power to get it going, but a lot of people have had success with this unit and the ad also stated a peak crank of 600A- enough for my motor.Followed the instructions to the letter, and the car wouldn't crank. Left for about 5 minutes to let it charge a little. Still no crank.Fully charged overnight and left on the car for +30 minutes to really get some juice in the battery before trying. Went down to about 90%, So felt confident it had put some power in. Nope. Cranked even worse than the 100% tries. At this point I notices on the back of the device it states a peak crank power of 200A only- not enough for most diesels, let alone mine.The starter would likely work on petrol motors or small diesels (<1.5l), but an ASZ 1.9 TDI (and likely that family of VAG TDI motors) is a solid no.The kit is nice and compact, and the quality of the unit is very high, cant fault it for anything other than failing its primary role for my application hence 2 stars.

Worked but not great
Jump starts my car on mild days. It wouldn't do it when it was freezing cold. Also the clips have broken. The springs inside broke out and flew off into the hedge so now I have to use jump leads to connect this pack to my battery. Could do with more power output!

It works well
It works well, starts the car up almost instantly.Its very easy to just leave in the boot amd forget about, but worth noting it needs about 80/90 percent to function so remember to top up every now and again.Ive used it more as an external battery pack than a jump starter. Works well in both areas

Wonderful
I really love it, so easy to use, my car was parked about a month in very cold weather, battery was dead, I tried so many time to jump start thru cable but unable to do it. But this beauty my car was start in second, I could,nt believe myself. All I did it myself no other help.What a JUMPER. I only use one time so far
