wont start

my deisle wont start ,can the fuel freez because of the cold weather?

Theoretically yes, but practically no. Nowadays all diesel has an 'antifreeze' additive to prevent waxing (the proper name for diesel freezing) in 'normal' temperatures. As long as you are not in Antartica or similar, you should be OK. I used to drive to Austria and had no problems in the winter when it got down to -25C.

It's more likely there's a problem with the battery, which is common in frosty winters. Call a breakdown organisation.

More than likely it is a problem with the heater or glow plugs not coming on, read this for all the information you need to know about what they do and how to change them. As short term measure you could try using ''easy start'' spray which is a can containing a very high inflammable mixture of solvents etc... which you spray down the air intake to assist with poor starting problems on fuel engines.

I had a problem once with a diesel peugeot. I agree with qapmoc with regard to the glow plugs.

your glowplugs are no good most likely cause. for the time being could be worth switching your ignition on/off 3 or 4 times waiting for the glow plug light to go off each time and then should start alot easier!
