I know your volvo's have wax operated cold start device, but can you help me with my manual cold start device please?
I don't know how do i have to use it correctly... i read it's necessary to use it when engine cold and ambient temps are above 15F, pulling it out, waiting for glow plugs light off, starting engine and pushing it in once engine warmed.
Is it necessary to push throtle 1/3 of its travel while cranking if CSD is used?

is the glow plug light turning on a sign of the need of using the cold start device? I mean, if glow plug light is not lighting, do i have to use the CSD? I know when engine is hot CSD in not used, but what if engine is warm(not hot) and glow plugs light is not lightning?

(excuse me my bad english please)

Thanks
