Tolly start problems

[Altgr]

Hi

I have Toledo 1.9 TD(1999 year).In last few weeks i have problems to start my car.He always turn few times,it goes maybe 3 or 4 turns and then start engine.I change my fuel filter,air filter.I change only two glow plugs because other two are fine.It˘s maybe problem with glow plugs because they are not all the same(two old and two new)??
My engine temperature is problem too,one time is on 90¨ and then go down to 60¨?Does coolant temp sensor have relationship with this my problem?

Does anyone can help me with this problem?

PS.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thx

It might be worth changing the other two glow plugs. other than that i'm not sure

I will change other two glow plugs and see if there will be any changes,but all 4 glow plugs working, difrence is 2 are new and 2 are old..I see in other thread that people have same problems like me if temp sensor not working,but that don¨t have any sense to me.

I change now and other two glow plugs but problem is same.What else i can try?

Do the coolant temp sensor.
It is a VERY common problem on all the VAG cars , that will effect the temp guage and could cause problems with the cold starting

Just now change coolant temp (it wasn¨t green or black,it was BLUE )sensor and all works fine

Temp is now on 90¨ all time,and my tolly start fine now.

Amazing is what coolant temp sensor can make.

Thank you very much for your help.

I think I have the same problem, so I would welcome any information that you can pass on about changing the temp sensor.

My car is a 2002 Toledo TDI.

From what I can see, it is on the right hand end of the engine, fitted into the thermostat housing.

As it looks to be facing backwards, it looks really awkward to get at !
I can't even get the wiring connector of it, is there a clip or something ?

Can you please help with some information on how to change this sensor ?

Thanks

I've never changed the temp sensor so I can't help there. But that isn't the thermostat housing it's plugged in to. The thermostat is at the front of the engine, in-line with the bottom hose from the radiator - can't really be seen easily.
