We've got about -12C now, which isnt so bad(We got winds at 17m/s, so it feels like -30C according to the weather people).
But the car just dies after a couple of seconds when its cold. If I rev it a bit, it runs. Had no issues starting until it went below -5.
Bought a new fuel filter for it today. Haven't gotten around to change it. Skipping the inline plan for now. Maybe that will help the starting. Hope it isnt the new glow plugs, as I bought the most expensive bosch ones they had.
When cold(and worm for that matter), it idles at just above 500rpm. Isn't the normal rpm supposed to be 7-800ish? Could it be that it needs more fuel? Didn't complete stage 1, cause it has been to cold. But turned up the fuel to see if I had to do anything to the turbo. And since boost didn't increase, I just turned it down, waiting for warmer weather to go in under it. Might have turned it down to much? Can't remember if it revved differently. Or maybe the pump needs a bit of advancing.
