Volvo XC90 diesel cold start -29

you dont have to turn on and off ignition, the glow plugs will stay on even tho the glow light is not on

[@McAmber]

Ohh.. this is interesting, I didn’t know that

[@supertreme5559]

@@McAmber yeah, i usually turn on the ignition for 20-30seconds and then just start it. depends on how cold it is

[@Aukes84]

In many cases, glow plugs will keep on glowing for few minutes even after the engine has started, to decrease the noise and to increase efficiency with better combustion. So yeah, no need to cycle your glow plugs, unless it's an older diesel. Modern ones has fully automatic glow plug control.

@Aukes84 till what year we can call an older diesel? Till 2000’s or 2010’s? This is quite interesting tip^ 👍
