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

在寒冷的冬天，柴油车本来就比汽油车难打着火
唯一的办法就是插电

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

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)

Suzuki Aerio 2005-2006 have the same problem due to the wrong spec of the shock absorber, maybe TDI is designed for warm weather driving only.

again, dont put gasoline rules on diesel, they are different

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。

我开道奇的柴油车，冬天打火是费尽，除了柴油本身的原因，
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。
