MK4 Jetta TDI Cold Start at -22C (-7F)

In this video, I try to start my uncle's MK4 ALH Jetta TDI Wagon on a cold winter day in January out here in Whitby, Ontario.
-22 degrees celsius -- the car has no frost heater, is not garaged, has a broken glow plug.
It pretty much goes the way you would guess. Not surprising.

5 ways to have a better chance at starting your 1.9 diesel when it is freezing out (applies to BEW engines too):

1. Have a good battery
2. Good set (4) working glow plugs
3. Fuel filter change every 2-3 years
4. Frost heater with a timer
5. Keep the car in the garage where its warmer

Hope this helps!!!

First time, I have watched these have failed start. What was long with the fuel gauge ? It was close to full in the beginning, then below middle towards the end of the video.

Good quality large battery…a 096 size…a insulated battery cover aswell as the outer hard plastic shell battery cover…genuine borsh glow plugs replaced every 2yrs…not becouse there no good after two years ..becouse if there left in too long they can break off/snap when trying to remove as they are delicate and it’s a costly job getting a snapped plug out….fuel filter changed out every 7000 miles and regular injector cleaner added to fuel every 5 full fuel tanks…do a half ignition glow plug cycle 5 times before cranking over if no start after 10 starter cranks ..repeat and try again
