this is my youtube channel and i upload this
I have a problem when the colder weather comes and especially the minuses...auto mechanics are just guessing and no one wants to get involved in the repair
car is: audi a3 8l 1.9tdi 1896cm3 2001 year
Mileage? Was the glow plugs light on? Fuel quality? Battery health? Have you performed compression test?
Mileage?I'm from Serbia and here the mileage has been returned on every car so who knows how much it is...on the board it says about 220,000km that is impossible on a 2001 car. Was the glow plugs light on? Yes. Fuel quality? the same in summer and winter... good. Battery health? perfect battery condition and charging. Have you performed compression test? no.
everything was perfect and error-free during the diagnostics. the problem is that i don't really have the money to have a car mechanic do it all for me... especially now that three months ago I changed the flywheel and the lamella as a whole. that's why I'm asking for help if someone knows what it is to know how much it will cost me because the mechanics here are bad. sorry for my bad english.
Real mileage is stored in car's computer. Do you use winter blended diesel fuel in Serbia? Diesel need compression to ignite the fuel. With mileage and/or lower temperatures compression decreases. In what condition are glow plugs?
Here are some other tips:

Do you use winter blended diesel fuel in Serbia? yes, but the car behaves the same. In what condition are glow plugs? the measuring device shows that they are good, but I found out that they can be weakened... and that they won't get glow. I will try to change them in the summer to begin with and then I will see the nozzles.
thanks for the advice and help.
You are welcome and good luck.
