    I haven't done it and don't dare do it, but out of curiosity what happens if you start the engine when the pre-heat indicators is still lighted?

    I tried it many times when I just learned how to drive, nag sta-start naman. and I also realize one ride of ours, even the indicator in the dash is off, the heater is still heating. I have attach my own light indicator directly to the glow plug.

    Yes sir for Santa Fe. Mabilis lang po around 3 seconds lang, pero this is just a question of curiosity. Just wondering if its damaging to the engine? Of course, I can always afford 3 seconds no problem

    normally pag may glow plug it takes a few seconds and sometimes gets even longer depending on the condition of the plugs and/or battery.....the crosswind don't have them. straight start agad.

    AFAIK mas madaling masira yung engine at cold start kc malapot yung engine oil at low temperature

    as if maabutan mo buhay pa yung indicators ng glowplugs.

    sa delica ko noon or sa liteace less than 1 sec lang even * coldstart sa baguio ng dec-feb. original glow plugs. pag ung tig-100-250 lang japeyk yun, madali lang buhay nun...

    well diesels need heat to combust fuel kaya nga may ganun e. gasolines just an ignition.
