Hello all,
I have a focus estate tdci 2002,had it since new virtually with a genuine 50k on the clock. It's been dealer serviced as per requirements. It's always been a poor cold weather starter...I've had the glow plugs changed, it's had a new battery,fuel filter and I changed the relay fuse..above freezing it starts effortlessly and goes well. Come the frost it's a pig...cranks well but struggles to fire. Could it be it's just underused and coked up? I've read about diesel waxing in cold weather etc..would one of those additives clean it out? Should I stop using supermarket fuel? I'm reluctant to get rid..
Cheers
Clint
