Dodge Charger Cold Start (-14 °C)

[zepp2486]

damn!!! my charger starts faster then that at -20 were i live.

[V8block8]

everythings cool, just your car has different compression rate because cool more dense air is entering your engine .... more air is entering,, and the engine is cold so maybe the block is a little bit stiff, pistons are more crowded within its cylinders

My 1973 firebird I had back in 1983 started in -90 below windchill when i had to be at work at 11pm in minneapolis mn. My dads oldsmobile omega wouldnt start, he had to take the spark plugs out and heat them up, then put them back in and it started. but that ole firebird started every time,,never had a problem. I wish i still had that car......

[93bradley]

to Imagen the friction going on in that engine during that start kills me inside... :(

[dannyking98]

ur  car is a fighter a lot of cars dont start that cold

[jordy19892012]

Do I hear a little bit of piston slap?

[kovu159]

That takes way to long to start at -14. My 30 year old Plymouth used to start better than that.

[wizard101emily]

why do people put the loud pipes on their car to ruin the sound?

[deathsabstract]

are you retarded, or did you get dropped on your head to many times?

[jamesluc7]

ya i just purchased an 07 dodge charger with the 3.5L HO, i was thinking the same was there issues with the lifters or valves, was told its suppose to sound like that, plus everybody i know who has the 3.5L sounds the same

[yosefwanger]

thats a good starter

[Kahlo69]

fuck canada

[whitehoundsmusic]

@Kahlo69 fuck you

[sideburns2009]

Use 5W-30 or 10W-30 either. First get a better oil filter. If you're changing it yourself, you're probably using a Fram. Fram has a cardboard endcap that the anti-drain back vavle does seal well against and the lifters loose their prime. Use a Wix oil filter or a good Purolator oil filter, one with a red (silicone) anti-drain back valve and metal endcaps. If that helps some but not completely, switch to 5w-30 in the winter time. The filter should help greatly.

[mdoelle]

Thin oil + noisy hydraulic lifters + Chrysler product = ticking noise. you own a mopar hence the noise you here is normal.

[caliber8]

on dayz like this bring her to 2,500-3,000rpms for 10 secondz she'll warm up ok........itz just the fuel return......shez cold

[mytjoemaine]

I leave in miami and my charger starts right up built i have knocking noise aswell i do not know what it is . all i can say is i brought an american car...........................

[xal7ooot]

i have same problem with my charger and i think this is normal right??!!

[th3ha1og0d]

what type of oil are you using? The 3.5 takes 10w30, but as stated in the manual you can use 5w30 to improve cold starts. You should definitely run 5w30 in colder months to reduce the strain on the engine; that's what i use in mine.

[marlon2k9]

Charger 3.5 takes 5W, not 10W.

[th3ha1og0d]

@marlon2k9

it takes 10w30 but the manual states 5w30 can be used in cold weather for improved cold starting. Realistically it can take both but in warmer seasons you'll want to use 10w30.

[sideburns2009]

3.5 has and always has taken 10W-30 preferred, so does the bored 3.5, the 4.0 SOHC. 5w-30 CAN be used but 10w-30 is preferred.

[mejawmeyaw]

its a v sick

[gorditoskanker]

haha how da fuck does it run too 200 mph

[guanche001]

use your eyes man.. it says, KM/H.. not MPH

[chorstma44]

Its kilometers which 200 kilometers is equal to 140 mph which is the max on a mph guage on a charger

[caliber8]

some SXT's and SE's have the 140 nd otherz dont............idk y

[chorstma44]

yeah. The se spedometer goes to 120mph and the SXT goes to 140. Im not sure what the r/t is. I think its like 180 or 200. Not sure

[MitsuEclipse06]

Sounds like my Eclipse when its starting

[ulric1212]

when its cold its the crank shaft its got frost so its clunking my dads charger does it all the time

[josh1303]

My 3.5 clicks away too at low - temps

[SirMoof]

I'd say that's normal. Hell, you should hear my Subaru clack at -49. Sounds like a diesel lol.

[Buttafingaz47]

i was in quebec at x-mass and it was -14f

now thats cold . like -28c.

i got a honda pilot and it started right up.

[albaraki]

Damn man, I freezed out here just by watching your vid ... the coolest temperature we reached here is 2 C ...

BTW, in Canada, they are using the metric scale not like USA? as USA uses miles ... Feets, Inches ... etc.

[cornered9110]

Yes, Canada uses celsius, centimetres, metres, kilometres. In other words, the Metric system, while the U.S. use the imperial system .

[infinity3jif]

damn that baby was cold

[langlebl]

Yeah. Hopefully it has been tuned up and the oil has been changed on schedule. Temperatures like that will put a strain on any engine. When the weather warms up, be sure to have your mechanic check all your hoses. Any air or moister in a hose when it's that cold can cause the hose to leak or burst.

[spoilt99]

the only reason ur engine is sounding like that is cause its cold. my mom's 02 caravan sounds like shit as well when being started

[FordsSuck95]

That took a lot of cranking, it should start much better

[amfan12]

It may be an intentional delay built into the PCM to build oil pressure before starting if its very cold

[jaannetts16]

very cold
