Yep, battery is good, glowplugs are good and the trouble really starts only when its below -let's say- 25F. Above 30F everything is fine. What also points towards the B20 is, that both cars do the same thing, at around the same temperature and the valves on the 300 were recently adjusted. I'll try that Mobil1 5W40 at the next oilchange. (Too bad, I just did them both...)
Thanks!
And I still want one of those heaters!!! (There's a used one out of a 240D for sale in Austria, but it's 320 EURO...)
