Thanks! Yeah, it's a little harder to start when it's cold. What happened with yours? How did you fix it?

That's what mine did. I checked a few things, but ended up taking it to a shop. They said it was the glow plug control unit. I'd get it checked out.

Thanks for the tip! I took it to a shop, and it was the glow plug control unit, just like I thought, the cable connection. Cost me 95€ to fix. Appreciate the help!

I had something similar with my Kuga. Does it start any different, especially when it's cold?
