AAZ Engine Start-up problems

Post by BundeswehrBrick »

hello there this is my first post and im hassling you poor people already !
My TD AAZ engine is becoming a pain in the a*** to get started now that the cold weather has arrived. I have changed the battery for a nice new one (70Ah and 670 cranking amps) New Glow plugs installed and the starter motor seems to be working fine. The relay for the glow plugs has also been changed.

Does anyone know of any common faults or areas which i should check ?

Cheers people
