1987 Audi 100 Diesel cold start -23°C - Finland

1987 Audi 100 5 cylinder diesel cold start. -23 celcius temperature.

[@ethanp2013]

Good to see someone who really knows how to utilize their glow plugs. It amazes me how many people turn the key immediately or too soon. Heating the plugs multiple times really works in the frost, I've been doing it for years and it helps noticeably.

[@tobyjackman3212]

I never thought of this but I learned something new today!!

[@the_aurora]

As I understand it, glowplugs do not have a protection against over heating. The car will sense the temperature of the engine/the outside but not of the glowplugs themselves. So it is better to let engine crank for a bit longer than to force multiple glowplug cycles or to let the glowplugs to cool a bit. While it will not destroy the glowplugs, it can shorten their lifetime significantly. (I am not saying the way they were used in the video is incorrect, just that people doing 4 cycles right after each other the first degree below 0 might not be ideal either)

Do they have a heater in the fuel tank and fuel lines to prevent the diesel going waxy?

[@fiatmies3852]

No, we have winter diesel and arctic diesel in finland, which doesn't go waxy. In summer there is summer diesel.

[@williampatrickfagan7590]

A diesel eng ine will last a million Km if oil and filters are changed regularly and engine not abused. More than 80% of wear in an engine occurs when engine is cold. Always make sure engine is hot when switched off. Short runs do not suit a diesel engine.

[@jernejulcar8325]

I bet at least one of the glow plugs isn't working. My audi 80 1.9 tdi didn't start in the winter one morning, and then i found out that only one plug was still working :D So who knows how long i been starting it on only 2 plugs :D I replaced them with new BERU glow plugs 6 years ago. They are still working like new. Engine now has 600.000km and when i tried to start it in december, after being parked on a field for 8 month, it started on one turn of the engine at -6. I thought it won't even turn after 8 months. First generation of 1.9tdi (1z) 90hp from 1991-1994 are probably the most reliable diesel engines ever made. They don't require any overhaul in their lifetime. Just change oil and filters and that's it. I think Skoda even used them until 2003.

[@fiatmies3852]

I think direct injection diesels start better in the cold, like the tdi. This is a pre chamber diesel. I also have a tractor which is a pre chamber diesel, and it doesn't have glow plugs. Even with the engine heater, it doesn't start very easily in the cold.

[@CreRay]

Starts very well considering age, mileage and that this is a pre-chamber engine! The turbo variant is probably not as good at starting cold. What does the text in the glow plug light say? "DIESEL"?

[@fiatmies3852]

Yes. The car is an old taxi, and it was maintained pretty well by the old owners too. Im not sure, i think this is more durable than the turbo version, or 2.5 tdi. Yes, it says diesel.

[@vladefimkin5970]

The 1.9 tdi with turbo also starts well. My Skoda has 400,000 kilometers and is not afraid of frost, the main thing is working spark plugs, good compression and a battery.

[@CreRay]

@@vladefimkin5970 The car in this video has a pre-chamber diesel engine which is no fair comparison to a direct-injected diesel engine like the 1.9 TDI.

[@K2teknik.]

The turbo version is the same engine just with attachment for oil-cooler, it starts the same way. What could be checked is the glow-plugs, glow-plug-relay, and the wiring from battery to the glow-plugs.

maybe it is possible to unplug the calbe for the glow-plugs-temperature sensor in the winter season. so it will glow "max time" of the glow plug relais (ca 45s on older or by 180s on newer relais & also stop's glowing by starting the engine). with this hack you don't need to turn the key 3 or 4 times - just wait the full time and then start (or do it twice if it's very cold). i'm not 100% sure if it will work on the audi 2.0D/TD oder 2.4D - this hack is for vw t3 1.6D/1.7D/1.6TD (t25, vanagon) but i guess audi's from this year may work similar concerning the glow electrics (just read electric diagrams...or search the sensor and try).

yes, it's true, the great German quality, but it's also true that that Audi (I had an identical one) is part of a time where there were little or no electronics, therefore very few sensors, no control units, no lambda probes, no injection with very high pressures and delicate pumps, not to mention F.A.P and chokes against pollution, all this has led to diesel engines with many problems

I’ll be impressed with the engine. I’m generally not a fan of Volkswagen Diesels from the 80’s, as Mercedes-Benz was better than the competition in pretty much every aspect, in terms of passenger car Diesels, but this thing seems to run well for its age.

[@fiatmies3852]

I have been wondering why w124 200d for example is considered better than this? At least more "legendary". This audi is a bit faster, lighter, and i think it's more spacious. And these CN rngines seem to last as long as old mercedes diesels. These also didn't rust badly at all, but it's strange how these have dissapeared. I guess mercedes holds it's value the best, because it's a mercedes.

[@stoneylonesome4062]

@@fiatmies3852Classic Mercedes (any generational chassis codes up to the W124/W126) are special because they’re the only vehicles which offer most (if not all) of the features of a modern car, without any of the gimmicky excess, but, in an analogue package that is infinitely maintainable/repairable/serviceable. There wasn’t a single component in the OM617 powertrain that wasn’t document, Mercedes was aware of every possible problem that could occur, and they had those problems covered. Once you fix up a W123/W124 300D, you have a car with effectively no expiration date. They were true forever cars.

Because it consumes under 6 liters of diesel on 100km, it has a 80 liter tank, so you can drive 1000km with one tank of fuel, it has very low hp, so the engine and powertrain is very durable and will most likely last up to over 1 million km.
