because you still have summer diesel in your tank,  summer diesel will gel up at  -12.

you should leave this car in shop overnight, let it warm up,  add in some diesel anti-gel addtives and fill up with winter diesel

This car was from Vancouver, maybe it is becuase of the fuel.

With Plug-in, easy one strike start, but without warming up, needs 5-7 times try.

I do follow the manual saying to the position 3, wait until the icon gone, still needs 3-6 times try in cold weather.

This TDI shows more concerns than the hard to start in winter.

I don't think so then becuase a gas engine car should not behave like that, stering wheel is jumping (no exagerating)

冷油，比汽油车热的都要慢不少。
点车的时候，当然不容易啦。最好还是插电。
或者underground。

我开道奇的柴油车，冬天打火是费尽，除了柴油本身的原因，
8 b8 E, R$ M1 t5 H& W3 x. c0 ^7 \我觉得车上的报警系统很费电，连续3天不开，估计就打不着了。

6 f4 ^1 w. x7 o* z' v; w除了插电，还要把车头摆好，准备早上 借个火。
寒冬快过去了，明年再好好准备吧。
