I guess this one has got some heater plug... Actually, the problem is that when I turn the key to ignite, the engine starts but only for two or three seconds. Then, it dies off and I cannot start it. Yet, this does not happen when the car is parked in its garage, where it never goes below 10イ/50ェ. > > AFAIK, oil companies mixes their diesel oils to local and seasonal > temperature conditions. I wonder if you have got the right diesel soup. I'm pretty sure that the soup is correct enough because my wife get the same for her Golf TDI, and this one always starts at once, even by -15イ/5ェ.
