Glow plugs and fuel injectors not very happy :))

[@norbertnowogrodzki7141]

You should probably check start up fuel dose. Or some of your glowplugs are just pretending to work

[@forgottenknowledge8917]

My old girl is loud too. Sounds like a truck

[@TheMK1004]

You don't have to heat up the glow plugs multiple times, doesn't make a difference, rather only gives battery a hard time.

[@Digitalpiracy]

OP might be used to older car designs. My old Ford diesel had the glow plugs on fairly short timers to prevent them burning out, and on a cold morning the only possible way to start it was to cycle the glow plugs off three times then turn it over. agree that a modern car like this probably has intelligent glow plug controllers that keep them on as long as is needed

[@andrewd.6072]

I have this specific model of saab, it Makes a difference when cold starting it, I garantee it

[@hp2084]

It makes a huge difference, i have same Saab and I cycle 7-10 times for a quick start.

[@andrewd.6072]

@@hp2084 7-10 seems a bit exessive, try give it 2/3 times and waiting 30 sec. Each time, it’ll for sure start up smooth

[@hp2084]

@@andrewd.6072 Sure will try that. I cycle them every time the glow plug indicator goes out. Have the car only for a month and a half so still getting to know it.

[@markodokoza1149]

My saab when its out -20 starts in few seconds, just buy new pair glow plugs.

[@gregorybarnabas5502]

Yeah

[@goranromersombor5923]

Omg

[@39gripen83]

Why start it cold? It's a preheater on this cars.

[@franzr44]

WTF just wait 30 seconds, and then start it. You kill the battery with this shit.

[@andrewd.6072]

I garantee to u that waiting 30 sec. Does nothing for this car, u have to heat up the glow plugs multiple times to start it without too many difficultes.
Cranking the engine immediatly just gives an hard time to the starter and drains a lot of juice from the battery, so doing like OP is showing is the best, at least for this car.
I personally own one of those and it’s the exact same even for mine on cold starts
