Follow up: the car had the wrong glow plug module for the recall and the wrong glow plugs due to that missed recall - starts like a dream now - it was starting with almost no glow plugs in this video
Thank god you didn't have selled it. It surely is a very good reliable car and has a lot of life left in it, even at very cold temps. It's not because its a diesel, it's the stupid mechanics that mess everything up or the owner that treat their cars not right. In your case, it was the mechanic. And see, a "little" mistake at the recall could have been a costly price for you, looking for an another car. Don't trust every mechanic, they don't know everything and make mistakes too, even if they can't admit it. Best regards from germany, sorry for my kinda bad english.
When this happened with my 87 Landcruiser 3B you used to put a candle under the oil pan. Go in for breakfast and when you were done cross your fingers that it would start !
Yeah there is no way those glowplugs are working properly. Yes, those TDIs don't really like to start when it's that cold, but there is no way it should be that bad.
He posted a comment saying that the glow plugs and module were part of a VW recall and then put the new proper ones in and it starts like a dream so that was the problem. 🙃
maybe the plug sensor is damaged because its not normal. in poland i had vento 1996 1.9td with 400000km at least;) and it was starting in 2seconds after using glow plugs 3 times. the outside teperatures was -28 as well
+broadwayline "German engineering" All yours to enjoy:) I got Galant VR4 1999. In Finland we had -30 this winter and even i never plug my car in the heater,it always starts. And the battery is old,around 3 years. Will never understand people who buy VW...
I can see that it heats up the air coming to the engine, helping a lot the start but, wouldn't it also reduce a lot the oxygen available and not burn the diesel properly?
Kalvinjj As long as it gets the engine started it's fine. When started the flame is removed allowing air of atmospheric temperature to enter the combustion chamber.
the smoke is from the accumalation of fuel in the cylinders and exhaust, the engine sounds like a bag of spanners on start up because the cylinders are contaminated. too much of that and you could easily hydraulically lock the engine. you need to optimise the power supply to and from the starter motor. check all connections, remove and clean contact areas if necessary. maybe the starter motor has seen better days.have the battery tested. just because a battery is relatively recent - it doesnt mean its healthy.
Most importatnt in this engine1.fuel2.plugs3.oil (full synthetic)4.temperature sensor (all in good condition)5 new filter (all filters) 6.starter 7 fuel injectiors in good condition And only then you can start your engine with no problems with-40°C
That's the worst cold start I've ever seen. I've never seen one die like that once it starts firing on its own power. Odd... I hope you get it sorted before next winter!
I have golf 1.9 tdi 81kw i just push accelerator all the way get more rpm and pressure climb up. there are often cold winters and i have car for 8 years still running great
jee, easy enough to win this contest if you live in Canada.. -45 up where I lived, have this icy fog everywhere, cheeks started burning so quickly, everything iced over inside my car when I breathed on it. Car cranked so slowly it was entertaining, "brrrrrrrurrrrrrr........brrrrrrrurrrrrrr......." the noises a car makes when its that cold are concerning. I could only imagine people in colder places, like -50 and so on.. hell no to that.
if you check your temperature on this vid4eo , from the beggining , coolant temp is allready up , that would affect cold start map in the ecu , you have probably a defective coolant temperature sensor , and its why it hard to start , theses BEW can start at -30 without trouble normally
Depends more on the engine. It's not a one size fits all type approach. I've got a 200tdi Land Rover. You can replace the fuel filter which holds about 500ml and it'll start straight up and it won't cough or die because of the lack of fuel. And it doesn't even need glowplugs at anything above -8 because I haven't even connected them. This engine also has over 200,000 miles. Direct injection Diesel engines which most are now are far superior to petrols for cold starting. There will always be exceptions. Note the engine mileage on this Tdi also.
There is a general rule of thumb....that says A true cold start-for a diesel - cost you about 6-9 miles of life expectancy.....and listening to this poor engine ....I would say that this kind of treatment costs you way more than just a couple of miles .....it hurts to listen to this... I rather get out of bed an hour earlier and preheat her - or pospone my appointment.....
Why would that impress you? Pretty much every car goes beyond that with original engine. I even have an old Nissan Almera diesel 2.2 it has over 350000km and it can probably do another 300000 easy with that same engine. Every BMW e46 you see here has well over 300000km, all with original engines. It's hardly unusual for cars that are 10-15 years old. Actually it's common as it can be.
Atrax R Well its because I live in an area where they use alot of road salt, 80% of our cars only reach around 250.000kms before the body starts rusting.
smashingstuff09 I get that part, but engine would still be good. They use lots of salt here as well btw. Body does rot, but engines are still good. Well it depends on how you take care of your car as far as body goes. If you pressure wash it here and there it's not that big of a deal. If you leave it for the entire winter it becomes a problem real quick. So yea, I agree with that part. Still, engines go further than 300000km easy for the most part if you do basic maintenance, if you don't neglect it. :) My old Almera is rotten tho, but that's the achilles heel of these Almeras, so it's not that big of a surprise. lol Engine still runs like nothing tho. I bet it could go another 300000km if the body would let it, but it doesn't. haha
That would work on old carburetted diesels, but you would destroy modern diesel. Petrol doesnt lubricate as well as diesel does and is too violent for diesel engine.
it is still cheaper than gas due to the longer distance per tank - i get 1100-1200km for 58 dollars of diesel vs 500km for 60 dollars of gas in my golf R
Hehe... come to Europe, on a daily basis I see like 80% of diesel powered cars, as small as hatchbacks. It's cheaper, but pollutes more, and our fcking governements won't fund gasoline yet will "fight" pollution
15 year old diesel does 1000km with a tank, 5L/100KM consumption, 300g co2/100km EURO6 does 1000km with one fuel tank, 5l/100km, 105g co2/100km Oh, and then petrol engine, lets say u drive 180 km/h Autobahn, petrol consumes 5-6 l/km more than similar diesel at that speed :) Sure, burning 20 L of petrol is more ECO than 10l of diesel Oh and if u do it in 1.0 TSI, burning 1000l of petrol only emmits 800g CO2, if u do it in old car it will emmit 5x as much :)
Nikola Malic No, it actually doesn't. If you only take co2 into account, then petrol is bad. But if you count NOx and fine dust, the diesel is worse. Modern techniques can only partially solve this, since downsizing mostly increases NOx emissions and better injection makes dust finer, so the DPF has a harder time catching it. Plus to decrease those two emissions, you mostly sacrifice fuel efficiency thus again producing more CO2
i loved it when my old open/vauxhall x17dtl started like that. i liked hearing it die. in all seriousness. if you dont want to fix the harness, just get a cheap 100A relay and a cheap puch button to manually power the plugs. takes like 15 mins to wire in and you can coldstart the shit out of it. it'll always start. did the same to a old Golf iv and also wired the electric heater the same way. get heating just 1min after starting the engine now. but remember to shut it all off again :PP
So it basically stared without block heater and glow plugs at -28 C.... ("Follow up: the car had the wrong glow plug module for the recall and the wrong glow plugs due to that missed recall - starts like a dream now.") Where are you now haters?
my VW fox from 197 made the same starter noise as your car,...after you let go of the key it makes a weird noise. the starter shaft doesn't retract back fast enough!
EGR może być walnięty i też będzie miał problemy z opalaniem jaki i z mocą... bo dziwi mnie to, że po odpaleniu zgasł, raz sie może zdarzyć, ale nie tak często...
Wait until summer and sell it:-)))) We had an 1.8 Ford diesel, it was fine but in the winter it took time to start it. Not to horrible, but it was working only on the third try.
-2ºC, Stop BS us, it was not -28ºC, but rather 28ºF (-2ºC). There is no way you can withstand -28ºC without proper hat, gloves and boots (not the leather boot for dandy we see). By -28ºC, each step you make on the snow makes a deep "crunch" noise.
broadwayline I live in Montreal, one of the most snowy megapole in the world. I think I know a thing or two about cold weather. Beside I used to own 3 VW diesel cars in my life. I have quite some experience at starting diesel at --25ºC you see.
I live north of Toronto - if you look at the Febuary 13th weather for the town this was filmed in you will see the low is -32*C - but thanks for coming out! Hope your poutine is still good over there in your snowy megapole or whatever that is *rolls eyes* www.accuweather.com/en/ca/orangeville/l9w/february-weather/54977
I have an 04 as well and live in Ottawa, mine never started like that and I don't plug mine in either. I used diesel conditioner at all fill-ups.. I seem to believe it works..
I wonder if there's some air being introduced by a 'leak' in the supply (e.g a perforated membrane) preventing diesel being sucked from the tank as it should?
Wont help, fuel filter is just a small part of fuel system. What about fuel tank, pump, lines, manifold, injectors etc. You have winter diesel which is made to remain liquid in cold temperatures.
j12torts this is such a stupid video I had a company Chevy van that was a duramax diesel and it started in -30 without being plugged in within 2 minutes tops it took me three tries and that think was such a piece of trash I don't think this is real at all there is something els going on hwee
I suspect that the glow plugs not working and / or water is frozen in the fuel filter. In the worst case, the motor does not have sufficient compression. Which engine oil was used?
Indeed you are right again. One thing to mention though (but this is understood by default if you live in a cold climate) is that you need a good battery. When turning on the glow plugs multiple times it really sucks a lot of juice form the battery, and I have seen cars (including mine) that would start no problem, but after 2 or 3 cycles of plugs they would crank much slower.
You do this completely wrong. It would have startet with the first attempt if done right. You have to support the engine with the starter the whole starting process until it cranks stable itself. Not starting it 2 seconds and then release the starter. Hold it down to support the engine, it's ok to to so for 30 or 40 seconds if needed. If the engine speed has rised up to 450 or 500 1/min after a few seconds, the engine wouldn't block the starter so much as in the first two seconds so it is no problem for starter and battery to do so. Then you would succeed with the first attempt even at -40°C ...
Saturnian Pytonwielki completely valid if it was normal diesel, but cold places have an addiitive (cloud point depressant). If not you might be quite right ☺
timmeah1 it should be, but if you dont drive much, you could have normal diesel in your car, even when whinter attacks. Same on pump stations, they dont always have Winter fuel when they should

ŞAHİN TV TRANSLATION: On diesel cars, on the dashboard of the car if you crank the car without lights turning off by itself, you will burn the ignitions, on the 2nd of key twist, wait for the lights to turn off by itself, and on the more intensive cold weathers you have to twist the key halfway (2nd stage) 10 times, wait for lights to turn off and then start the car.
Marcell Less The best diesel engines are the japanese in the term of "reliability". Toyota for example...the 2.0 td and the d-4d engines where undestructible engines!! Nothing to do with the vw....
I was worried when i had to take my Dodge Nitro 2.8 crd one morning and it was -24. It just started like every other day with just a slight hesitation on on cylinder for 2 seconds. And its a italian Diesel from VM motori. But then again I will probobly never get so many miles out of it then a avrg TDI
+ananiasurnake haha I would more say very surprised that it haven't failed me get. I almost discarded the Dodge Nitro for its VM motori. if the taxes wouldn't be that high I would be driving a Jeep Commander today

broadwayline. Happy days bud good luck
broadwayline can you get a block heater for 1.9's lol
No glow, no go.
Yes you can.
When this happened with my 87 Landcruiser 3B you used to put a candle under the oil pan. Go in for breakfast and when you were done cross your fingers that it would start !
Thats one of the worst sounds I've ever heard. I was so glad when all the cylinders started firing...
Cold injectors
Yeah there is no way those glowplugs are working properly. Yes, those TDIs don't really like to start when it's that cold, but there is no way it should be that bad.
possible insufficient battery voltage being the cause.
Aw, poor VW....
- bad Battery
- not the appropiate oil
Who wonders why that thing won't start....?
ferrari2k God... Just thinking about it now. Thats terrible and inhumane :(
He posted a comment saying that the glow plugs and module were part of a VW recall and then put the new proper ones in and it starts like a dream so that was the problem. 🙃
@Silverio Arroyo
It's not the point. It's about viscosity.
I miss my old mk6 golf TDI, that old girl never let me down.

maybe the plug sensor is damaged because its not normal. in poland i had vento 1996 1.9td with 400000km at least;) and it was starting in 2seconds after using glow plugs 3 times. the outside teperatures was -28 as well
For german cars use always bosch or beru glow plugs !
Arctic diesel fuel without bio additives and vw norm engine synth oil...
New fuel filter a must!
The noise that thing makes when you turn the key on reminds me of starting a boat lol.
so true
I’m guessing since it started and died the fuel was partially gelled. Throw some additive in it helps a ton
You sure those glow plugs are working?! Holy cow that was a terrible start.
+abyssunderground The plugs are brand new oem NGK's but I think the harness is bad and only 2 of 4 glows are lighting :(
+abyssunderground Those glow plugs are defently not working propperly. Even my 1990 diesel starts better at -20C

Never touch the gas pedal when cold starting an diesel engine. Use a fire next to the intake like we Romanians do XD
I can see that it heats up the air coming to the engine, helping a lot the start but, wouldn't it also reduce a lot the oxygen available and not burn the diesel properly?
Kalvinjj As long as it gets the engine started it's fine. When started the flame is removed allowing air of atmospheric temperature to enter the combustion chamber.
Kalvinjj Ah, you see: right as the engine would fire we will proceed moving away the flame from the intake and approaching it again !
Salut
Started my 99 Cummins at minus 13c unplugged. Started well but what a racket, great engine.
i am feel grateful to be here in tropic
You need a better battery and thinner engine oil for winter.
And winter diesel.
@@davelowe1977 I don't think there's such thing of winter diesel
@@dustinlanphear422 theres a summer and winter deasel
There is no problem with oil. Only with your disel. This tdi motor is not for -28 degreec. And must put winter disel adiction in this cold weather.
the smoke is from the accumalation of fuel in the cylinders and exhaust, the engine sounds like a bag of spanners on start up because the cylinders are contaminated. too much of that and you could easily hydraulically lock the engine. you need to optimise the power supply to and from the starter motor. check all connections, remove and clean contact areas if necessary. maybe the starter motor has seen better days.have the battery tested. just because a battery is relatively recent - it doesnt mean its healthy.
What ??? I started my grandpa's '89 VW Passat B3 at -23 degrees from the third try. And it's a classic engine. (Sorry for my bad english).

the noises a car makes when its that cold are concerning.
I could only imagine people in colder places, like -50 and so on.. hell no to that.
wow, terrible diesel in the States! I own a TDI from that era never had any issue at cold start. none.
3 words, Mercedes benz w124. my old 91- 6 cylinder always starts
if you check your temperature on this vid4eo , from the beggining , coolant temp is allready up , that would affect cold start map in the ecu , you have probably a defective coolant temperature sensor , and its why it hard to start , theses BEW can start at -30 without trouble normally
That's why gasoline is superior to diesel when it's cold
Not when it comes to carburetors it's not
Depends more on the engine. It's not a one size fits all type approach. I've got a 200tdi Land Rover. You can replace the fuel filter which holds about 500ml and it'll start straight up and it won't cough or die because of the lack of fuel. And it doesn't even need glowplugs at anything above -8 because I haven't even connected them. This engine also has over 200,000 miles.
Direct injection Diesel engines which most are now are far superior to petrols for cold starting. There will always be exceptions. Note the engine mileage on this Tdi also.

As much as I dislike VW that milage impresses me, If that is the original engine.
Why would that impress you? Pretty much every car goes beyond that with original engine. I even have an old Nissan Almera diesel 2.2 it has over 350000km and it can probably do another 300000 easy with that same engine. Every BMW e46 you see here has well over 300000km, all with original engines. It's hardly unusual for cars that are 10-15 years old. Actually it's common as it can be.
Atrax R Well its because I live in an area where they use alot of road salt, 80% of our cars only reach around 250.000kms before the body starts rusting.
smashingstuff09 I get that part, but engine would still be good. They use lots of salt here as well btw. Body does rot, but engines are still good. Well it depends on how you take care of your car as far as body goes. If you pressure wash it here and there it's not that big of a deal. If you leave it for the entire winter it becomes a problem real quick.
So yea, I agree with that part. Still, engines go further than 300000km easy for the most part if you do basic maintenance, if you don't neglect it. :)
My old Almera is rotten tho, but that's the achilles heel of these Almeras, so it's not that big of a surprise. lol Engine still runs like nothing tho. I bet it could go another 300000km if the body would let it, but it doesn't. haha
Nothing impressive, my Passat has 247641mi (nearly 400k km's!) and still runs good ;)
That's after 3 turbos and only if the swirl flaps haven't destroyed the engine. The VW PDI was a better motor than the BMW 2.0d.
It really helps to put a three or four liters of gasoline in with every full tank of diesel when it is cold like this.
That would work on old carburetted diesels, but you would destroy modern diesel. Petrol doesnt lubricate as well as diesel does and is too violent for diesel engine.
That would destroy the high pressure diesel pump in a hurry
old carburetted diesels? :)) WTF dude? are you high ? :))
If you want to buy new injectors and a pump, you can do that.
It's not a 1970s tractor ffs
Why would a North American buy a diesel car ? As an European where diesel is cheaper than gas I understand but why in NA ?
it is still cheaper than gas due to the longer distance per tank - i get 1100-1200km for 58 dollars of diesel vs 500km for 60 dollars of gas in my golf R
broadwayline diesel is not made for cars, its for trucks and trains. unless you live in the mountains, horsepower is more important than torque
Hehe... come to Europe, on a daily basis I see like 80% of diesel powered cars, as small as hatchbacks. It's cheaper, but pollutes more, and our fcking governements won't fund gasoline yet will "fight" pollution
15 year old diesel does 1000km with a tank, 5L/100KM consumption, 300g co2/100km

Oh, and then petrol engine, lets say u drive 180 km/h Autobahn, petrol consumes 5-6 l/km more than similar diesel at that speed :)

Summer fuel or bad(badly connected) glowplugs. Or maybe fuse. Looks like not all of them "glow" properly.
Great Coldstart anyway :-)
Nice Rims :)
"Holy smokes!" Literally...
Time to change all glow plugs ! They work but not like its should ;)
i loved it when my old open/vauxhall x17dtl started like that. i liked hearing it die.

nice start. for my 66kw is .-20C pretty extreme :D and -28C pretty dead, low comression.
Frozen fuel, tipical problem. You have to put some gasoline in the tank to keep the diesel normal flow.

Yes ! Need 5W-30 !
You can get a few of those teeny oil candles and light one under the oil pan in the morning to help

Why do cars in america bleep so much ?
and Americans are not as perceptive as a regular human being.
Our german VWs beep as much as the american ones.
Angelo Rescigno says the Mexican immigrant. lol
You need a good battery for cold starting a diesel in the winter..And fresh engine oil (5w40/5w30 recommended).
I have an 04 as well and live in Ottawa, mine never started like that and I don't plug mine in either. I used diesel conditioner at all fill-ups.. I seem to believe it works..
Gotta love your vw's never let u down
Some of y'all wake up and think "Hmm I think I'm gonna go complain about how much diesel pollutes on a cold start video.".
How about fuel? Was it good? Diesel is known for solidification at low temp.
You are crazy dude you are killing the engine thats not the way to do it
Euro 6 Norm
This is why you should use synthetic oil and a diesel cold flow improver.
car was running Motul synthetic
If you pour 2-3 l. hot water on the head of the motor, it will start way better and faster.
There is something wrong. I guess you are using some cheap no synthetic oil like 15w50 or something like that.
Pressing the clutch may help a lil bit to get the engine cranking faster, espessialy in such cold weathers.
Yup, in cold temperatures oil is very thick and gearbox has a lot of oil. Combine this with bad battery and car will start harder
Europa car is awesome
Oliver GoPro it's not europa car..it's a VW Jetta we don't have Jetta's in Germany
that's called the VW Bora in europe. It's a Golf with a slightly bigger body :P
Krzychu TV Yup!
Krzychu TV
Did you read the link? Yes, the Bora exists, it is the Golf 4 on steroids ;)
But the Jetta exists as well, it is a Golf 5 base.
I know. The jetta is pretty much a golf with a bigger trunk.
We cold start -35 celcius no problem every winter. Your battery is just so crappy it wont turn over the engine. What weight oil is used?
Mortalomena he had the wrong glow plugs in
That's why you don't buy a Piece of shit tractor if you wanna haul around in the winter
Perfect wheel!
looks everything ok for me. VW engines never liked very cold weather.
china22s true
Like butter.
All you need is 0W30 oil. end of story. not a starter or battery problem.
please press the clutch pedal next time you cold-start your car. This way, the electro-motor will not rotate the gear-box along with the engine.
the clutch is pressed
I wonder if there's some air being introduced by a 'leak' in the supply (e.g a perforated membrane) preventing diesel being sucked from the tank as it should?
try a thermos flask full of hot water pour it over the fuel filter ? you glow plugs may work but the diesel in the filter is jelly
Wont help, fuel filter is just a small part of fuel system. What about fuel tank, pump, lines, manifold, injectors etc. You have winter diesel which is made to remain liquid in cold temperatures.
+TheDox451 you got to think of where the exposed to the air and cold this is where the fuel will wax ? as you can here in the video ?
Its better solution to use hairdryer and blow on the lines and filter or just have the car in warm garage.
hello can i borrow a part of this video for my compilation? i put alink to your video in the description ofc :)
of course :)
Just a question to those who live in these cold climates, can you just take the battery out each night and charging it indoors
You dont even have to charge it, just keep it in warm place. Cold temperatures lower battery power and drain it out.
Get a block heater . You just plug it in and it keeps the oil warm so when you start it the oil isn't sludge .
j12torts that's way to much of a pain in the ass I have a tdi I put a coolant heater in so it fires up like a hot day and instant heat.
j12torts this is such a stupid video I had a company Chevy van that was a duramax diesel and it started in -30 without being plugged in within 2 minutes tops it took me three tries and that think was such a piece of trash I don't think this is real at all there is something els going on hwee
I suspect that the glow plugs not working and / or water is frozen in the fuel filter.
In the worst case, the motor does not have sufficient compression.
Which engine oil was used?
There is really no point in lighting up the plugs multiple times. A plug will reach its temperature in a couple of seconds max.
+krugerblue but it will heat the cylinder more when you light it up multiple times :)
+OrlyVlog I agree with you. I'm thinking it will also kill the plugs much faster, will it not ?
krugerblue Yeah thats true but glow plugs are not that expensive.
Indeed you are right again. One thing to mention though (but this is understood by default if you live in a cold climate) is that you need a good battery. When turning on the glow plugs multiple times it really sucks a lot of juice form the battery, and I have seen cars (including mine) that would start no problem, but after 2 or 3 cycles of plugs they would crank much slower.
+OrlyVlog you could install a sort of oversized blowdrier they have on trucks and busses, it does the job better.
You do this completely wrong. It would have startet with the first attempt if done right.
You have to support the engine with the starter the whole starting process until it cranks stable itself. Not starting it 2 seconds and then release the starter. Hold it down to support the engine, it's ok to to so for 30 or 40 seconds if needed.
If the engine speed has rised up to 450 or 500 1/min after a few seconds, the engine wouldn't block the starter so much as in the first two seconds so it is no problem for starter and battery to do so.
Then you would succeed with the first attempt even at -40°C ...
Propobly diesel fuel is frozzen in filter.
Saturnian Pytonwielki completely valid if it was normal diesel, but cold places have an addiitive (cloud point depressant). If not you might be quite right ☺
timmeah1 it should be, but if you dont drive much, you could have normal diesel in your car, even when whinter attacks. Same on pump stations, they dont always have Winter fuel when they should
i live in a cold place and i have had my diesel fuel freeze and gel up on me several times
translate please
dizel araçlarda göstergedeki ışıkların sönmeden motoru çalıştırırsan bujileri yakarsın o yüzden yarım kontakta ışıkların sönmesini beklemelisin ve daha soğuk havalarda 10 kez yarım kontak yapıp ışıkların sönmesini bekledikten sonra motoru çalıştırmalısın
kebap with swine meat tastes better as sheep/cow meat and i eat it everyday in secrecy. Also i force my wife/sister to wear towel on her head coz i am afraid someone might look at her and she will run away with him coz i am a bit on retarded side, diesel TDI benzin JTDm, that was just to confuse him lol :)
ŞAHİN TV TRANSLATION:
On diesel cars, on the dashboard of the car if you crank the car without lights turning off by itself, you will burn the ignitions, on the 2nd of key twist, wait for the lights to turn off by itself, and on the more intensive cold weathers you have to twist the key halfway (2nd stage) 10 times, wait for lights to turn off and then start the car.
ŞAHİN TV haci sorun yag pompanin calismamasi, motor fena tokat yemis gibi oldu ayni.
So this is what the environmentally friendly VW Diesel cars look like ....
timmytubede Nothing not environmentally friendly about that...
Sorry, I was just hating on VW because they fucked up with the Diesel scandal last year. I drive Diesels myself, just not the ones from VW
Ah right. My bad, I didn't realise you were being sarcastic. I'm just overwhelmed that there are so many idiots commenting on this 😂
It is frigid cold, that’s why it won’t start or starts horrible, same happens with my x5 Diesel. Diesels are not good for Canada
The glow plugs must be near death too
I know an oil burner sounds rattly but that sounds bad.. like really bad.
What oil are you using?
I had similar problem. Have you changed starter motor? The turnover shouldn't be that sluggish if battery is ok.
Most batteries will act like this in extreme temperatures, even if you charge it as much you can. You need to buy more expensive winter batteries.
flat battery and diesel fuel is on gel on this temperature vw is the best tdi
ivan ivanov vw best tdi??? hahaha my tdi died on 85.000 km vw diesel is shit
Stefano Ricci our TDI is running everyday with 850000 km
Marcell Less The best diesel engines are the japanese in the term of "reliability". Toyota for example...the 2.0 td and the d-4d engines where undestructible engines!! Nothing to do with the vw....
what year TDI?
Why didn't you change the engine oil?
Bit cold for that, no?
LOL you probably wore the equivalent of a month of summer starts in just one day hahaha
probably! was worth it though
Was your moose too sick to take you?
brotherbosco nah, it got killed on the T.C.H.
Uff. Always press the clutch if You start the engine !!!!!!!
+Bramkarz Jack clutch is pushed in brother - ignition wont turn over without it in for safety reasons
Na filmie widać iż nie jest wciśnięty ! 1:50 :)
***** right leg is on the clutch in that section!
Every Manual tranny car since 1985 has a clutch safety you have to push it to start.
what are you talking about??
why don't you press the clutch?
easy08154711 as I've already said - clutch is in the car will not crank without the clutch in for safety
is a Check up every year done or are the plugs the only parts changed in 12 years?
when was the oil changed last? vw are known for blocking oil pick up pipes. also what grade oil were you using?
Motul oil a few weeks prior
where did you put plugs, diesel doesn't have spark plugs o.O
im sorry what?
Not spark. GLOWplugs
you need a source of heat in the intake . heat gun or hair drier works good .
I was worried when i had to take my Dodge Nitro 2.8 crd one morning and it was -24. It just started like every other day with just a slight hesitation on on cylinder for 2 seconds. And its a italian Diesel from VM motori. But then again I will probobly never get so many miles out of it then a avrg TDI
+Jimmie Nilsson
U have Italian Diesel engine in or Dodge, right? u must be proud of it :D
+ananiasurnake haha I would more say very surprised that it haven't failed me get. I almost discarded the Dodge Nitro for its VM motori. if the taxes wouldn't be that high I would be driving a Jeep Commander today
What are you using oil to the engine?
