What to Do When Diesel Vehicles Have Difficulty Starting in Winter?
1 Answers
Winter diesel vehicle starting difficulties can be addressed by installing an intake heating device at the air intake; a fuel tank can be equipped with a device to preheat the diesel; before starting, wash the engine with hot water; drain the engine oil overnight and refill it when the vehicle is to be used, to prevent the oil from freezing and solidifying. Here is some additional information: Check the battery casing for electrolyte leakage: If there is leakage, the battery should be replaced. If there is no leakage, clean the battery surface and terminals with hot water, but be careful not to let water enter through the vent holes. After the water has dried, it is advisable to sand the contact surfaces of the terminals and connectors and tighten the fixing screws on the connectors to ensure sufficient current can pass during startup. Check the battery voltage: When the engine temperature is normal and the starter is in good technical condition, if the engine can be successfully started multiple times in a row, it indicates that the battery is in good condition and the voltage is normal. If the engine speed gradually decreases with each start, or the engine starts with difficulty, the battery voltage is already in a discharged state and should be recharged. Check the electrolyte specific gravity and liquid level height: If the electrolyte specific gravity is too low, it cannot provide sufficient electrical energy, and there is also a risk of freezing and cracking the casing, rendering it useless.
