Octavia starts very poorly from a cold start, no pre-heating?

Hello,

My Octavia 1.9TDI, 11/97, 130'km starts very poorly in the mornings when it's cold. A warm start works perfectly. Last winter, this was not a problem!

The pre-heat indicator on the display is working normally, but I don't think it's actually preheating. I measured the control voltage at relay 103 (is this the correct one?). There is no control voltage at the relay when preheating is activated. Only after starting does the control voltage reach 12V. Is this normal?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Greetings
Walter

[Translating...]Hallo,

- Glühkerzen einzeln auf Funktion prüfen (mit Glühlampe in Reihe oder entsprechendem Amperemeter)
- Stromversorgung der Kerzen prüfen; Streifensicherung prüfen (auch auf Korrosion)

wenn Glühanlage in Ordnung -> Temperaturgeber Kühlmittel auf Plausibilität prüfen; probeweise zum Kaltstart Stecker vom Geber abziehen. Wenn das funzt Geber ersetzen.

Gruß Andy

...wenn kein Ampermeter zur Hand tuts auch eine normale 55W Autolampe die mit dem Pluspol der Baterie verbunden und dann oben an die Glühkerze halten. Leuchtet sie, ists ok, glimmt sie oder nichts passiert, musst du die Kerze wechseln, aber Vorsichtig rausdrehen, bei einem über 6 Jahre alten Motor musst du da Sorgfalt walten lassen, damit du das Gewinde nicht vermurkst!
