Benzo no starto!
Hi,
First time the car wouldn't start this morning...didn't drive it yesterday/night, went out this morning at about 11, turned over, no starto..weep weep, now I have to recharge the bat from trying to start it! Ach...I think the temp when I woke up was around 11 degs F. I about half a bottle of Heet Diesel treatment in it a week ago...do you think it didn't start because it was so cold...I mean, it is Duluth, MN. But...it had been starting fine until today. I will recharge the bat and maybe try again later... Happy New Year! -Kurt 80 240D

How are the glow plugs? Are they cycling normally? Couldn't hurt to take an ohmmeter and test the GP resistance...each should be around 1 to 2 ohms.
Just a thought...good luck!

Ktang,
Turn on the light above the rear view mirror. Then turn key to the position where the glow plugs (GP) are supposed to work. The light should dim noticeably. If the light doesn't dim the GP are not working. If the GP seem to be working, does the engine have a working block heater? If it does, plug in the block heater for an hour or 2 and then try starting the engine. If it starts after using the block heater, cold is your problem. Some Diesels just don't like to start in cold weather. P E H
