My old w123 300D is on its last 100000km , compression +- 15 bar and it currently requires about 12 sec of glowing ( new type plugs ) and seconds of cranking at 10degC ambient. Now the question is do you glow twice and possibly reduce cranking time , or reduce glow time and crank more - there is a compromise between glowplug life , starter motor life and battery life. I wonder what the best compromise is. Further throttling help with cold starting ? - the idea being that all that excess air drawn in when starting cools the intake charge unnecessarily.
