this is usually a sign of bad glow plugs. at least 1 anyhow. I think we warned you about the double glowing that was required when you bought the car. you may have a little problem with the valves needing adjustment also. to start smooth in cold weather, you need either perfect compression, or good glow plugs. if either, or both are bad, it will stumble when cold.
