Navara rough cold starts

The air is colder than it should be. Is that definitely connected to the rough running? It's like the engine's fighting itself until it warms up. What did you do to fix it?

Yep, pretty sure it's the same issue. The electric auxiliary heater. If it's gone, it throws everything off. Take it to a workshop. Mine cost around 350€, but it fixed everything. A faulty heating element will kill engine performance as soon as temperatures drop. It is linked.

Looks like I'm heading to the workshop then. 350€ isn't the end of the world, I guess. Hopefully, that'll sort it. Thanks for confirming, I was a bit lost! Suspected it would be pricey.

Sounds familiar. I've got a Navara and had similar symptoms last winter: rough starts, fuel guzzling. Check your HVAC system, especially the heating element. Is it blowing cold air when it should be warm?
