I have a Japanese imported subject vehicle of 1999 manufacture.
Unfortunately I do not have an owners handbook.
On the dash-board, mine is right-hand drive, at steering wheel level
is a push-push button with an emblem of a engine-block with an
electrical signal superimposed, with a small light which lights-up in
the 'on' position.
I am assuming that this button warms-up the engine-block to allow the
fuel to flow in low-temperature conditions?
I live in Southern Russia and believe you me, we do get some low
temperatures here:-)))))
What I would like to know is how I use this button.
When I switch-on the ignition, as well as waiting for the glow-plug
light to go out, do I switch on this control and wait for the light
to go out?
If I do not have to wait for the light to go out, how long should I
allow before attempting to start the engine?
I have not lived in Russia for very long and have yet to find a
garage, hence my MU sits outside at night and I have been having
trouble starting it first thing in the morning after a cold night.
Anyone advise a fuel-tank additive to allow the diesel to flow more
freely in cold conditions?
Many thanks.
