My car does not start when the temperatures are low, such as - 10 degrees.
It's a 307 SW HDI 110 pk. Another 307 with the same engine starts without
any problem
The car starts, motor runs 1 second and is gone again. This happens untill
an hour trying and trying. Then is sounds for a short time like running on 3
pits instead of normal 4.
The service manager has no idea what to do to fix the problem!!

Can anyone help

Thanks,

Harm-Jan Wijnholt

It's starting- just for a second so forget the glow plugs. Apart from that
the hdi doesn't actually require any heating from glow plugs at european
temperatures.
