Most asked questions Q:What battery you have under the hood? A: Its a Exide ek950, 95ah agm battery. Q: Do you know what it does to your starter motor?! A: Yes i do. I also have spare starter motors. 😁 Q: Why dont you have glowplugs? A: car started effortlessly until -15c degrees, i didnt have many cold starts like this and after inspecting i found out that none of the glowplugs were working. Goes to show how much you actually need glowplugs on these direct injection diesels even in colder climates. No external power sources etc, just clip i filmed on my phone on my way to start a car. 😂
Amazing cold start video. The only way it could have been better is another camera recording the exhaust. I feel this in my bones, and theyre starving for shit like this.
All diesels are technically direct injection. I also highly recommend Exide batteries; even their standard batteries seem to last longer than a lot of other brands I've experienced and the Excell in one of my cars holds charge when I've not run it for a couple of months.

It's not to intentionally be cheaper, it's designed for the specific application, high torque high current draw for a short amount of time. A continuous duty motor capable of doing this would need to be a lot bigger and heavier.
Your missing the point, it's designed to be compact and light to save weight, with a high torque output. Being cheaper to produce is a secondary bonus.

@@Kasi11 I mean because he cranked it way too long. It’s the first time I saw a battery stay with the same power almost 3 minutes like on the video. I was in a similar situation but not on a cold weather (10 celcius) . It was because of a relay (109 1.9tdi) I could only crank it for like 20 seconds and then the starter starts getting slower and slower, that with an 75AH brand new battery that I even charged it for 2 days long. The battery has like 50km and some months, car stays always on the garage and if I will not start the car for like weeks I disconnect it, (it’s my project car) I bought the battery just to start the car every 2-3 weeks atleast 1 time. And shit men, I need this battery for my car, because man, it’s seems super powerful.
@@fl8740 yes, another advantage of AGM batterys over normal ones is that they can deliver higher currents for longer time. AGM batterys are literally better in any way than normal lead acid ones, except that high temperatures shorten their lifespan and that they are more expensive. I had an charged AGM battery lying in the basement for over a year untouched and it was still fully charged.
Did you touch the gas pedal or just cranking? I wonder it applying some gas makes a difference when starting tdis or do they just ignore it and start with the normal injector duty cycle?
No effect on every Diesel. Injected fuel amount at starting rpm is much higher than on full throttle. Because of that, you have the effect on bad starting engines, that they rev up a second and then stop immediately when not pushing the gas pedal. The pedal gets a meaning when idle rpm is reached.
With no glowplugs, probably every day honestly. If they worked you just need to wait few seconds with the ignition on and then crank it, should start right up.
I am not car specialist, but won't doing this for this long flood the engine? I'm really curious, because I read somewhere that you're supposed to do this for 10 seconds max. Or maybe this concerns only petrol engines.
Flooding isnt really an issue anymore since electronic fuel injection has reached a certain standard and for diesels it wasnt really ever an issue, because they dont get wet spark plugs and are extremely tolerant of air-fuel ratios - BUT cranking a cold engine is about the biggest strain on the electrical system and can exacerbate the tiniest problems that would otherwise not matter, like small resistances due to terminal corrosion so it is usually recommended to crank for no longer than a minute at a time and then giving it a few seconds of rest to let wires etc cool back down a little so they wont start to glow or melt or cause a fire

If glowplugs don't work (usually relay, glowplug or glowplug wire issue) it will take forever to warm up combustion chanber and you will get this. Common issue with b5's
