    Default Cdti 120 cold start

    Hi

    My 2005 cdti 120 is so hard to start from cold so I tried with the coolant temp sensor unplugged & it starts perfect so I changed the sensor but it still the same I have tried a new sensor again incase the first was no good but it still the same the only other thing is the glow plug light only comes on for 2 secs when the temp sensor is in but if I unplugged it the the light comes on for the full 10-15 secs the only other thing is the temp niddle takes about 30 min before it moves & then it never goes past 80.
    Please can someone help as allways I am very thankful for the help.

    All the best

    Thermostat is a common problem on the 120's. I've got one sat on my shelf that I need to fit to mine...

    Don't think that would cause the poor starting, but my temperature gauge is the same as yours...
