So what is the number 1 reason?
With OM61x engines, it's critical that before temps drop below freezing
the valves be checked for sufficient clearance so that there is NO
leakage even at the coldest anticipated temperatures. Improperly
adjusted valves is the second most common cause of poor/no cold starting
reported in Mercedes OM61x or older diesels.
Failure of the preglow system, most often glow plug(s), glow plug fuse
or rarely glow plug relay.
