[CL9] Euro very hard to start?

[rocwang]

Hello everyone,

2007 Euro, sometimes very hard to start engine, I need 2 times to start engine.

Usually I use 98 petrol, and my car just 27000km.

Thanks!

change your earthing wire.

one on the right side running from engine mount to chassis and left side battery negative to chassive at the same time you can earth or alternator, intake manifold and distributor.

Change to 4G wire and if it's still got the stock battery then you could change it cause the cranking power of that battery isnt good.

Hope this helps.

Warm your engine down for about 10 seconds before switching it off after driving often makes it easier to start next time round. Works for me, i'm still running the stock battery. If that doesn't work check your battery using a multi-meter during start if voltage drops below 9v volts during cranking its about time for a change. Upgrading the earth wire isn't going to change much, plenty of euro's out there with a standard earthing cables still starting fine.

due to the complexity and variety of essential startup accessories , the euro needs all the cca's it can get. The supplied battery seems to b fine for a brand new car but with time the reserve seems to drop.
Either get a larger rated CCA battery or try the ground kit upgrade as mentioned above
