Thanks for your reply. I see where you are coming from. Please note though, that although in the US these engines are more common, they are rare over here. Also, yes similar to a Vw golf, or LT engine, and same type of pump as many other diesels, I believe the cold start is unique to Volvo. I know for certain that the Vw LT35 that this 6 cylinder was also used in had a manual cable operated cold start, not a wax stat like Volvo...their the Vw dealers are no use to me.
This is why I was asking about keeping the glow plugs on - if I can do something like that and it costs me just the wire in my garage and time, then that write be my temporary solution until I find a good cold start.
