Modern Diesel engines have solved a lot of issues over the years. The newest Diesel engines are much better than the older ones but, all diesels do not like cold weather. That\u2019s why I have put together this guide for the cold mechanic shivering in his bay right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why are Diesel engines harder to start in cold weather?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the internal components of a diesel engine become very cold, cranking the engine is more difficult because diesel engines depend on high temperatures in order to create combustion. This will cause a diesel engine to run rough until the crankcase reaches a suitable temperature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
