Ive got a 1995 Mk3 1.9D Golf. Last winter i started having problems with my golf starting on cold mornings. Sometimes it would start with the manual choke and putting my foot down on the accelerator. Other times i would have to disconnect the hose from the air filter and spray cold start when turning the ignition. And i managed to get it through the winter.
Now that its starting to get cold again, the problem has re-surfaced. 2 weeks ago i replaced all glow plugs, however, it doesnt seem to have made a difference.
I had a previous golf Mk3 1.9D and it had the same problems, and was led to believe that it was a problem with the glow plugs, however one had snapped off in the cylinder, and therefore had to scrap it.
As i have had the exact same problem with my old golf, im not sure if this is a common fault, and am wondering if anyone would be able to help me.
Thanks in advance.
