1.5 DCi really is a master piece.

That Kia Sportage starting on the button was either suffering from waxing fuel or alternatively a glow plug had failed. A rarer problem I have seen is that the secondary glow plug system had failed. Its not widely appreciated, even by some technicians, that most modern diesels have secondary signal from the ECU to discretely reactivate the glow plugs (sometimes at a lower current) immediately after the engine starts in really low temperatures. No warning lamp appears on the instruments when it does this. It significantly improves cold running in the first few minutes after start and also improves emissions in that time. Its a problem that only really shows itself in extreme low temperatures where the engine starts and then runs really rough or stops. I have worked on a couple of cars that have had this problem. We test it by running a 12v 5w light bulb on a wire into the drivers compartment direct from the glow plug bus bar on the engine. If the bulb illuminates immediately after a cold start for 2-3 minutes all is good. If it doesn't then there is likely a problem.

I can't even imagine the amount of engineering required to make something work in like -40c during winter and then possibly like +50 or even higher in direct sunlight during summer. And just in general the engine having really small tolerances for things like compression but still managing to work with what basically could be a 140c temp difference between cold and operating temperature I wonder how long the push button cars will actually crank since they seem to keep going for a while, never thought what would happen if your car didn't fire up for some reason. I assume it would stop after a few seconds

@DKSON1337

2 жыл бұрын

It stops automatically, the time depends on the car itself and the amount of battery because if the system detects a low level of battery life then it either won't crank at all or it might turn for 2-3 seconds and stop if the engine doesn't start.

well the principle works for more then 100 years now. The skill really is only to get the engines smaller and make the process of starting quicker. easier and automaticly. Tolerance is not even a matter for start ups. small tolerance only plays out in terms of top end performance and efficiency.

And to top it all off, keep the driver comfortable and last a long time as well. It is so crazy that we can even acheive these feats of engineering, especially since cars have only been around for 100 years. Which in the grand scheme, is not very long for development. I love engineering for these reasons.

This is why diesels blow

The diesel engine works a lot w/inside temp of engine. The battery is more important to spin the pistons and to create the necessary temp. for diesel explosion. The quality of diesel is important. The preheating inside engine is important. The diesel engine is not made to start often. It is to work continuu. Quick start stuff is good ideea to start a diesel engine. Syntetic oil 0W must be used. Block heater for engine, pan heater for oil pan, battery heater, etc. can be used to start easy the engine. Do not force the starting engine on the very cold condition. Before to start create good contitions to start the engine. Good luck.

Should've bought a petrol car and converted it to run on propane. Gas is used for the cold start and it switches to propane (which costs half as much to run on compared to petrol) once the engine reaches 70C. And it will reach it at -30C, no need to worry.

@@goncaloferreira6863 Obviously propane is LPG, it comes in this liquid-gas form. An easy way to convert your car to propane is to use a toroidal tank to replace your spare tire because the pressure of a full tank is only like 125psi. The people in Russia who drive around for very long distances across the entire country and generally just use cars as proper tools buy stationwagons like the Lada Largus (that are modeled from the european-style delivery vehicles, because Lada was owned by Renault-Nissan similar to Dacia) and put the spare tire on the back like on an off-road Jeep Wrangler to put a big toroidal LPG tank under the trunk. That way you're not sacrificing any free space inside the car and are able to transport either a bunch of items, sleep inside the car (in case you're into this, or you're staying in a forest with wild animals or if it's very cold outside and a tent won't cut it, though you're only limited to 2 persons), or have 7 people in the car, because you can have a 7-seat option to carry your wife and 5 children, which is based and Christpilled. There are many LPG stations all over Russia now and thankfully it still saves a lot of money to run on propane because the normies either simply don't know about it or are scared to put it in their cars, especially the foreign makes of cars because of the stigma of LPG being dangerous to drive around with and because it greatly devalues your car on the used market partly because of this. Not that it matters because the city folk driving around in various SUVs alone and wasting time in traffic jams don't even drive around too often or too far (not to mention that they're afraid to push the cars hard because what if they crash it, they bought it on credit), and the actually experienced drivers that do, are all driving cars like the Lada Granta/Renault Logan/Datsun On-Do or the Lada Largus (with the better models being Lada Largus Cross for better off-road capabilities that are very much needed in remote Russian suburbs, if you wish to invest in it). My dad has a Lada Granta since 2011 and he now converted it to run on LPG because he's got his 4th child and because the car is always being used now every day. Having two cars isn't actually needed, but a bigger car capable of transporting 7 persons all around the city every day is. The mentality of Russians is to use a car like an instrument that gets you places and is easy to fix and that's why the European folk doesn't appreciate Ladas much (they don't have vast untapped territories, and you can generally just bike around the city). And I would also like to have many children of my own before the end times hit and the antichrist comes, because that's what the jew fears.

@@goncaloferreira6863 Some cars also run on CNG (methane) which is even cheaper and even more eco-friendly, much more so than even LPG, but it requires a large, expensive and heavy cylindrical tank capable of handling stupidly high pressure (because it's all gas) and it only really is good for use in busses and trucks. It requires frequent refueling too. Though some taxi drivers convert the cars to run on methane because they don't need lots of space in the trunk or access to a spare tire, and that greatly improves not just efficiency, but also the cost to maintain the engine as there are way less contaminants (so oil change isn't needed nearly as frequently as it is on conventional cars) and overall the engine would be fine running on methane, though some engines do better with it than others. But the more important reason why more people don't install methane is because they lose 30% of the engine's horsepower. That means that the engines need to have at least 100hp to be viable to install methane, so lower power engines won't cut it. Again, taxi drivers don't require too much horsepower in the cities and they hardly have all 5 seats occupied by heavy passengers. So CNG is for the taxi and bus drivers that drive around for a living (it takes many more kilometers for the CNG conversion to pay off and start being profitable) and LPG is for the average Ivan.

My record was starting a Peugeot 206 1.4HDi in -23°C . It started , but i had to crank it long 2 times (before ignition i did the preheat sequence 6-7 times i think), and on the 3rd it started , 20 seconds rattling and then OK . .Under -15 or so the led display gets really lazy :D . When it's over -10°C it always starts on the first try . We get maybe 2 months with nights around -10 -20. Now i have a Renault laguna 3 with 2.0 DCi , the coldest was -11 so far , it started without skipping a beat . Funny thing is the renault has 2.5 times the mileage and seems like it starts more easy :D

I dont live in a extreme cold weather zone but when you do, you buy gasoline cars, and you get cars that have the engine block heater, even my ford comes with that extra and i do not need it.
