    Slugish Diesel @ Start

    Guys my B6 103 Kw diesel is a great Car but in the mornings 1 st start until warm about 3-5 minutes.
    It thinks it is a 1970s Holden it feels like a petrol engine ie: you would think it is missing and only running on 3 pots,
    is this normal ?
    Cheers Lewis.

    Never had a problem like that with my TDI.

    Took it straight out this morning, all of 6.5 degrees upon starting up after a night that came close to freezing, and it ran smoothly straight away.

    Doesn't sound like it. Have you given it to your dealer to test out ? They will need it overnight so they can try a cold start in the morning if that is when the problem occurs.

    My 1970 308 Holden starts first time, every time... Even in Canberra's chilly negative temperature winters! Just add a bit of choke and let her idle for a couple of minutes and she's all good. Even with the temperamental 600 Holley...
