Hello!
I'm using an Opel Vectra B diesel 2.2 DTI, year 2001, but I am having a problem with it.

It doesn't starts so well during the spring or summer season (when temperatures are high) meanwhile during the winter or when the temperature is cold it starts perfectly. On user manual is written that the candelas do not inflame if the temperature isn't around or lower than zero.

Can anyone help me plz?

Thanks for your suggestion Dave.
I plugged the vehicle into a diagnostic computer, but everything seems to be ok (according the specialist). Maybe fuel pressure could be the problem. For my vehicle usually I use euro5 (blue diesel).

Thanks again!
