Hi stefcio007,

2007 2L TDCI.
Sons car.
He says always hard to start on first attempt.
Always starts on second attempt.
Manifests itself during the colder months.
Less than 2 y.o. battery, good charge.

Fuel filter replaced 50k ago, will change next week.
Once I have changed fuel filter will check symptoms again.

May be glow plugs?
These are most likely not been replaced in its life.
Do dodgy plugs throw a CEL on the dash or is that issue one that doesn't have to?

Other than that looking for electronics/other that may be causing the issue.

Thanks
