  1. 11:40 Again, every diesel car in this video had broken glow plugs but only this video clearly says it. And even the one in 14:55 which actually started fast sounds like it has one bad plug, too. If a diesel has working glow plugs and the engine turns at all, it will start. Low quality fuel may get so thick in arctic conditions that the engine fails to turn, though. 18:30 Was a great example of too low quality fuel in cold conditions. I just filled the tank of our car last week with diesel fuel that's rated to work in -35 °C here in Finland just to prepare for the winter.

  2. 14:10 This small diesel engines without turbo are painfully slow to drive.
