In Response To: Re: Cold weather and Diesel advise (Rawleigh)

I drive a 1987 Mercedes 300D and my son drives a 1982. Both start easily in cold weather. Items to check are:

Glow Plugs

Glow Plug Relay and Fuse

Starter - The starter is important. The faster the engine turns the easier it will start.

If you have a block heater you can also plug it in overnight to get an easy start in cold weather. This also speeds up the time to get heat out of the vents.

i am also attaching a link to mercedesshop.com. they have a great diesel discussion board that ia loaded with mercedes specific information.

Good Luck,

Joe
