Hi,

my engine startes since last week very hard from cold. It takes a good 15-30 seconds to get it started. Onces its running - no problems at all. I think it might be the glow plugs. Since this is a maintenance part anyway, I would like to change them first and then see if that is the core of the problem.
Could you advice what the correct type of plugs it would be and if there is a manual to show how to change them? It does not say anything in the car manual about it. Also would I need any additional tools?

Thanks in advance.

Change the glow plugs and fuel filter, add a good fuel cleaner to the tank to clean the fuel lines and injectors .. your local autoparts store will be able to supply a repair manual with step by step instruction's and diagrams for the repair !!
