MY 945 24tic is having a few problems cold starting.............starts in about 20/30 seconds after some cranking - usually two goes on the key. The problems seems to be that the glow plugs are not activating at least the light on the dash is not coming on.

So are the glow plugs activated on every cold start? Are they temperature dependent i.e. are they only activated if the air temp is below xx deg? OR what?

cold start device is working fine as i have a VERY fast idle until it warms up - but the the idle is very fast normally i suspect the fuel mixture has been played with for extra performance.

thanks in anticipation
