  • 2003 VW Jetta Wagon 1.9L TDI with original ALH engine, injectors, and pump and over 270,000 miles. I have set the injection pump pulley to just a tad below the green line in the timing graph and used adaption to advance the timing to 33000 which is about 3° advanced. Makes cold starting easier, seems to have increased my MPG a little and definitely more power in the higher RPMs. It's got an EGR delete, stage 2 tune, cat delete, and coolant heater from FrostHeater(didn't use it this time because my roommate beat me home). My lifetime(about 1 year) average is 49.5MPG with my best tank getting 816 miles! Hopefully, this will be the start of some new videos! :) I have been gone forever. I hope you all are doing well an enjoyed this video!
    Keep exploramenting and thank you for watching!

    Lol I think you need new glowplugs, or just leave them on longer. The old tractor I used to drive needed a good minute on glow before it started.
    Look for an inductor symbol on your dash lights when they first come on. Wait till the light goes out, then start. On cold mornings double glow by turning ignition off then on again.

    • @pilotavery
      @pilotavery 5 років тому

      He prolly did it once. These TDI's need 3 or 4 glow plug cycles if you want it to start the first time in freezing temps, and additionally it starts much better with any kind of tune or timing advance.

    very nice cold start. I did one on mine, 2005 Passat GLS wagon with the 2.0L BHW TDI the engine is called the Pumpe-Duse engine, it had about 196K on it when I did the cold start video, on my channel, and it had only one working glow plug out of four. now it has all new glowplugs and a Frostheater( it didn't have it before). I average about 32mpg. This past week I had to have it plugged in due we got down to -32 f, with it plugged in it popped right off. Also the cold part in the country was Cotton, MN at -55.9 F. Glad to see you are back. Also I got a tractor project on my channel now.

    Impressive. Back in the day I had an 86 diesel jetta and when it got super cold I'd have to use jumper cables to hook the battery directly to the glow plug on the master cylinder to get it going. Pain in the ass when it was that frigid, but it worked.
