Yes, probably your glowplugs or the glowplug wiring harness. that was the problem with mine not long after I bought it with similar mileage. The harness was made with biodegradable material, it is not terribly expensive and not that hard to replace. May as well put new glowplugs in while you have the manifold off, just be careful with the plugs getting them out- use lubricant and have patience.

we love ours as well, getting 28.5 MPG around town
