The question
I have a 1999 Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI diesel. When the engine is cold it's almost inpossible too start. What do you think is the problem? When the engine is warm its starts directly. It is any typical thing?

Hi Bjarne,
The first thing we'd check are the heater plugs. They're not cheap though, so have an auto electrician test them before you shell out money paying for their replacement.
