kev tdi Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi when is below freezing outside my car starts really lumpy and lacking power and judders. If I drive for ten mins and then restart it again it's normal. It don't do it in normal temps. Any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie1 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's normal mate and happens to them all, I've read other day on tdiclub that it may be due to piston shrinking and clattering around in the cylinder but not sure on that one tbh.In north America they have coolant heaters to prewarm It but over here not as much need really.Lots of smoke, no power, Freezing heaters, sounds like it's killing it's self......all part of it's winter charm Lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
