GL320 COLD START AT -38F VIDEO

Her's a little video of my GL320 cold start at -38f. I was amazed how well these cars operate at low temperature. My 2007 GL320 has only 220,000 miles on it and it dos not smoke. Still going strong

Yep, I think we hit -20 or -22 at night and it was about -12 during the day.
Like the first or send week of Jan.
I am in the Chicago far NW burbs.


That was when mine almost did not start.
I think my biggest problem was I just got back from a long trip and the tank was full of Ohio or Indiana rest stop fuels that was not blended for temps that low and gelled a bit.


What sent me in that direction was one of the error c odes set was "low fuel rail pressure".
