My car cold starts no problem, lowest temp I've seen is -4. I'm wondering what cold start systems are at work? With my previous key operated diesel car, you would turn the ignition on, watch for the cold start heater light ot go out, then turn the key to start. With the LR2 all you can do is press the button. I've not noticed any cold start warning lights, and it certainly always cranks the instant I hit the start button, so no time for cold start heater plugs to warm up. Anyone out there know what goes on in cold start conditions ??? |

I get the feeling that 2-stroke oil would help things out! Watch for relevant Yamaha-Fan posts... |

YF, I assume you ment decrease the viscosity ? (make it more liquid). An excess of unburned diesel fuel can indeed wash the oil film away so 2 stroke oil should avoid this by improving the combustion process. |

I have also noticed cold weather seems to labour starting - I would have thought with all the technology a sensor would delay the starter motor to give the glow plugs more time when it is cold. As you point out you can no longer wait for the glow plug light to go out before turning key to start position.

The coldest it's been over here so far is about -3C. Mine starts immediately - but I have added the 2 stroke from new (as per YF advice). |

Yes Paul, you are absolutely right. With "increasing" the viscosity I mean "better" the viscosity in practical terms.

Hi Avtur In the recent cold weather, one morning at -5 deg I pressed the start button and there was a noticeable delay. I was about to try a repress and Hey Presto she fired up ! I put this delay down to glow plugs heating up. It was "press button, count to 3, engine cranks". cheers Paul ----------------------------------------- TD4 SE Manual, Sold.

I've noticed about a 1/2 second delay between pushing the start button and the engine starting when it is cold weather, but doesn't sound rough at all. ______________________

I noticed a delay this morning too - it was 1 deg outside. |

A cold morning ( - 8° ) the delay was also around 3 seconds before the engine start. My engine make weird sounds when started in cold temperature, but never fail to start properly... I guess it's normal |
