Extreme cold start -33C (-27,4F), no pre-heat, Mazdaspeed 6 turbo

[ciutacu]

is that a gas engine?

[brybo86]

I hope you had some good synthetic 0w-XX oil in there.. did you?

[olibatssobb]

did you push the accell. few times before turning the starter on? usually helps..

[sasajungic89]

hehe smokes like a diesel :-D, but for anyone that is curious its a Petrol.. 2,3l turbo

[mikekoz68]

You don't have a block heater? Do you realise how much damage you do to an engine starting it this cold? At least tell me u had synthetic oil?!

[mmarkomann]

what was that knocking noise? injectors?



[Jasshands1]

come to canada, try that in miune 60 haha, my jag did good for about a year..then started crapping out

[5Zylinder]

Wenn mein Audi im Winter so schlecht starten würde, würde ich ihn verschrotten.

[xXSCARFACE1983Xx]

@5Zylinder

Glückwunsch, du bist tatsächlich ein Idiot... Ey du Vogel, nach 5 Tagen bei Minus 25 Grad ist das eine Meisterleistung, wenn da das Auto noch anspringt... Normalerweise kannst du dir dann eine neue Batterie kaufen.

[Randolo88]

I don't plug my car in all winter 07 Mazda 3 -40 with thê windshield. Northern Ontario and it starts with little effort

[pcfxer]

@Randolo88 Remember this is a Mazdaspeed 6 and he is in Europe. They tend to run thicker oils (I don't why).

[gg122448]

The same thing in Ukraine, when temperature falls below -27C. The only thing, I'm not keeping the starter too long as you're in this video.

[hdug86989]

Diesel or gasoline

[hdug86989]

DIESEL OR GASOLINE?

[907AKrider93]

I live in Alaska and have an 07 speed 6 and starts perfect not like this. But smokes too just not that bad

[lSongeel]

It's gonna be -30C here where I live today and I have Mazda6 2003 2.0d. Hope it will start. Today it was -18C and it started no problem.

[Thecarguy1254]

Was that a chrysler sebring next to you? In Finland?

[Jiiluu]

@Thecarguy1254

Yes it was. Actually you can see quite a many Chryslers these days here in Finland. Sebring especially is worth the money imo.

[Thecarguy1254]

@Jiiluu wow. One would see alot of them here in America too... on the side of the road. Sebrings are about as bad as it gets for reliability!

[Thecarguy1254]

@Jiiluu Thats why Chrysler replaced it with the 200, atleast here in the states.

[KapteinOpel]

@Thecarguy1254 Chrysler Sebring is now also made in Russia, under the name Volga Siber. :)

[Olddog231]

What is the problem KEMALO2011 It started didnt it. Yours probably even refused to turn over

[ChiLLaTzE35]

sry for stupid question. i saw it later

[ChiLLaTzE35]

gas or diesel?

[KEMALO2011]

Don't buy a Piece of shit Mazda next time

[Jiiluu]

@KEMALO2011

Thanks for your output.

[thehouseofnothing]

Is it gas or diesel?!

[Jiiluu]

@thehouseofnothing

Gasoline.

[daver18qc]

Try Quebec next winter, we had -42 last year and my 1993 Jetta started better than that even at -42... (Well it started right away but then it has a really choppy idle, that's to be expected..)

[Jiiluu]

@daver18qc

Well, I never said this is an easy start, did I? Actually this car has 6 years old battery, and it stayed five days unused (under heavy conditions, about -30C all the time) before this start. No engine heater in use. I'd almost call it a miracle.

[daver18qc]

@Jiiluu Oh in that case it did pretty well indeed ! 5 days in that cold without starting, the battery must have been pretty much frozen inside!

[Jiiluu]

@daver18qc

Yeah it survived pretty well. I bought new battery and a block heater for upcoming winter, now it will start like in summer time.

[daver18qc]

@Jiiluu Don't worry, in a couple years we won't even have a winter anymore, it's already starting here, when i was 15 there was minimum 4-5 feet of snow everywhere, and right now, January 11, i can see my lawn through the 1 inch snow we have..

I ride my quad in the snowmobile trails for crying out loud!

[Pendemic]

Yikes....I started my '99 Passat 1.8t here in Canada last year when it was in the -30's (C) and it did NOT sound like that. And it also started a lot easier lol.

[t0xictreasure]

ooo mazda logo i floating in thin air!

[scooterkillz]

i didnt know a car had a throttle :O

[MATUXAZ]

sounds like a crow!

[SebastianSosa1988]

im from germany, the coldest day i remember was this year in january -22° where i live. but they had over -30 in east germany

[kingofthechevs]

lol welcome to canada where we start our cars at -30 :p you have a tendency to get use to it

[nitroratrod]

I do cold testing on cars inside environmental test chambers.....familer sound!!! But still cool!

[KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

GET A BLOCK HEATER

[Jiiluu]

@KrGsMrNKusinagi0

I HAVE ONE NOW!

[squallz13]

Wow my 1995 Mazda Mx-3 started after 4 seconds in -35... gotta switch to synthetic bro. 

[whorayful]

Imagine how cold it would be if we didn't have global warming ! :-)

[Jiiluu]

@whorayful

Past two winters were the coldest winters here in my lifetime.

[whorayful]

@Jiiluu Strange, in Australia our weather is getting less extreme. Where I live in Adelaide, South Australia, we normally get at least 1 or 2 weeks of summer temperatures near 40 Degrees C maybe just a bit over. Last summer I can't remember any days over 40, so far this year 2 days just at 40. We don't use block heaters much here !!!! :-) But we can warm food by putting it on the roof of the car in the sun! Hope you and your car survive winter, such low temperatures are unheard of here.

[Jiiluu]

@whorayful

Haha, certainly no need for block heater down there. +40C is way too hot imo, we had couple week period of +30-35C on past two summers, and that was awful. Pale Finns can't handle it. :-)

[coolakiIlen007]

last 2 winters have been quite cold in scandinavia, at least here in Sweden. im driving an -83 Mercedes 240D which will start up in all temps! its only up to the battery really..

[thewillofthe313]

Im more amazed to see the Chrysler Sebring in the background.

[rabelius91]

My Golf 3 1,8  started whit frozen anti-frez in it at -27c. made it halfways to town befor it started boiling :S I think i need better anti-frez xD

[suomiauto]

Lohkolämmitin, it's there for are reason. 

[rchrdbgi8]

Do not rev the engine when it it that cold.Wait for it to warm up a bit first the oil will be too thick and will not work properly and also the seals will go.Just don't do it.

[Jiiluu]

@rchrdbgi8

The lower the temperature is, the higher idle revs there are. I did not touched the throttle for first five minutes.

[dervectra]

@Jiiluu yes my vectra OPC has the same shit start RPM... thats for fucking EU Norms...

[editmanify]

@rchrdbgi8 Erm, isn't 0W30 an indicator that the oil is thinner when cold and thickens as it heats up? As the first number is the viscosity at low temperatures, e.g. thinner.

[tiikeri328]

Suomii!!

[Jokey4world]

How does the car do today? is it still healthy as new? /Sverige

[Deadmars1]

ei oikei meinaa potkasta :D miksi rääkätä autoa noin?

[sunnyjason]

wow, what kind of oil were you using?

[OfficerSheepDog]

I cringed when I heard the sound, ahaha we have nearly the same here in Canada. Thanks for the video!

[zzracer]

toyota never need extra power to ignition :D

[brettkramer]

Great video, I don't know why, but this is really funny. -33 is punishing on everything...

[vodka492]

I started up my car in -55 C in calgary alberta canada, i have a Lancer.

[cedJohns]

@vodka492 The octane only freezes at -60 °, the mixture that represents the essence lose its ability to explosions before!

From -40 °, gasoline does not ignite more. In chemistry it's called the flash point! Then at -55 ° leaves me laugh:) That said, there may be a heating system on your vehicle but it is doubtful

[Jiiluu]

@cedJohns

We had extremely cold temperatures in northern Finland back in 1999. The record was -51,5 Celsius. I remember news stories about buses and taxis that kept their engines running for several days in a row, to survive the "frost wave". They were thinking it's impossible to start engine if they let it go off.

[thunderstruckter666]

@cedJohns well when gasoline and air enters the combustion chamber it gets compressed by the piston and when the air is compressed it increases its temperature, probably enough to get ignited. I have more doubt that a battery would be powerful enough to crank the engine thats frozen like a rock and the battery would be very weak at that temperature. And i would fear that the oil wouldn't circulate properly in the engine on startup, it would need a very low viscosity rating.

[woodyslap]

excuse me ......where is this place which has god - 33C...???

[Jiiluu]

@woodyslap

This happened in Kainuu, middle Finland.

[woodyslap]

@Jiiluu ty ......i like Finland

[ricka15]

@Jiiluu We had -35 In Lithuania last winter :)

[LValvoline]

@Jiiluu We had quite the cold winter in Alberta Canada. January average was around -29c. The ol duramax loved it!

[819driver]

@woodyslap ive seen -45 n my car would start

[swss12]

@woodyslap -33 occurs lots in north america too..

[7FP3]

We often have these kind of temperature during winter, here in Canada., normally in January. Our cars really start that way in those conditions. I never plugged the block heater and it always start. You have to ensure that your battery is very good tough. A little trick : put some gas anti-freeze in the tank, always keep your tank full to avoid condensation in it, and prime your pump and injectors 3-4 times before starting the engine. Normaly, at -30°C, my engine starts within 5secs.

[BensBold54]

sounds almost like a diesel haha

[AlexandrKC]

Wow!

Lol, man imagine how many cars (millions) in Russia existing in the similiar or even much more extreme and cold weather? Or in Alaska? Or northern Canada?

example: Norilsk, Murmansk, Yakutsk, Archangelsk (all are very big cities and closer to arctic circle than Finland).

[razioth]

@AlexandrKC My car lives the same thing every winter! I don't even live in the northernmost part of Canada (I'm im Québec) and -30~ ish (celcius) happen a couple of times every winter!

But with synthetic oil it's really easier to start

[hundvonkrieg]

that poor car. How do you make it without a block heater?!

Also, I had no idea they sold the sebring outside the US

[cipmars]

It sounds like Muttley snickering in slow motion :)). Great start!

[HL3AlcAida]

Murderer! -.-

[burnzy3210]

love the censoring lol

[prisonbreak7760]

This is diesel. Never knew they made Mazda 6 a diesel

[WestheLegend]

My Jeep woulda started up right away, AND pulled out like 30 of your friends from the snow. No big deal.

[BigPeBe]

lol modern cars. Shouldn't take that long to start a injected engine :)

[black96fire]

that isnt oil its gas. not to say there isnt oil in it, but its mostly gas

[2003claci]

omg:>:>:>:))

[antman08015]

wow -30 starts couldn't imagine having to do it myself... but that sounded pretty tough on the engine and if you make that a daily habit could be bad.. have you thought of using a block heater

[CAESARbonds]

is that a chargingpost in the back?

[Jiiluu]

@CAESARbonds

You mean that plug box? It's for block heater if you have one. I don't.. :P

[CAESARbonds]

@Jiiluu

ok I see.

So you also could charge an EV or plug in hybrid from it I assume.

nice cold start btw ;)

and damn you have so much nice snow in finland.

maybe you should use a Spiralcell AGM battery. they provide more amps in cold conditions

[Jiiluu]

@CAESARbonds

Yeah that's true, it provides 240 volts and usually has 16 amp fuse. It's possible to charge an electric vehicle with it, but we mostly use them for block heater and interior heater in winter time. Basicly every building has these plug boxes.

p.s. battery was original, five years old, at the end of it's life cycle. I was lucky to get engine running. :-)

[Logementos]

@CAESARbonds Often, nowdays, the outlets for block heaters have a timer, so that you get 2-3 hour of power, adjustable to fit your schedule or time of "departure". To charge electric cars, there are other "poles".

[ScottyDont211]

wow sounds horrible, what abuse to put that new car thru

[drewbamblett]

poor thing

[qettyz]

Naksutus tuossa startin välissä, ei kai siellä joku pole kaasua? Ruiskumoottoreilla ei pidä koskea kaasuun kun käynnistää = kaikki uudet autot, tuo myös. Ne on niitä vanhoja kaasarivehkeitä missä piti pumppailla=)

[Jiiluu]

@qettyz

Ei polje, en tosin tiedä mistä naksutus johtui.

[Righty736]

Starter or battery asap?

[spaetakus119]

very god engine

[obieezx11]

IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ALARM GOING OFF TURNING OVER

[Bongwater123]

i live in canada and it gets fucking cold here in the winter and mine has never started like that. well the sound yeah but never black smoke, thats just fucked

[HardlyNormal12]

Why torture your car like that?

[respectable07]

1.8 starts with bo problem in that cold.

[Harmonlisa]

The turbo is not producing boost when it is being cranked over.

[2URBO2]

It is the turbo which feeds the engine with too much air, and it gets too much fuel and as the result shows - SMOKE.

[scaleop4]

-27f fuck that's cold

-32.7777778 degrees Celsius

[yazanarabiat]

these cars are not made for that kind of weather,buy american or german cars only

[jonp92]

@yazanarabiat That's just an ignorant statement. 

[sd2649]

Why would you do a thing like this? Emergency to get going somewhere?

[konrado2104]

My Mazda 626 by 1997 year started better in -35C. What happen with your MPS ????????????

[goldenbullet08]

Holy shit.... What is causing that smoke ? 0,o

[djdynamite123]

@goldenbullet08 all the fuel in the exhaust system that hasn't burnt, then when a big gust of oil gets shot through the engine with water, it shoots it straight out the exhaust equaling high fumes on starts where it wont turn over or a while....

[Dayberry]

Oil took a while to get the the top of the engine.....try I lower weight oil.

[toonczyk]

There is something clearly wrong with that engine. What oil are you using? I've never had problems like that with my 6MPS and I used it in some pretty extreme conditions.

[12389h]

Finland a beautiful country, but It would break my heart to hear my MPS start like that.

[StopBeinANiger89]

oh my God what did you do to that car? i have the exact same one and mine doesnt sound or smoke like that at all

[Jiiluu]

@StopBeinANiger89

it was so cold, no engine pre-heat.

[amggilly305]

@StopBeinANiger89 try starting your car in -27 degree weather and tell me how it sounds

[joe19blo]

look to my toyota :)

[saneaco]

@amggilly305 Actually, I had a 730i BMW, and it started quite well at -29!!!

[Smokey950527]

OMG why the smoke is so black in this petrol car?

[undeadkillers]

@Smokey950527 Running rich which all vehicles do in winter to make cold start ups like this easy.

[2008tourer]

OMG, is this a diesel or petrol?

[Jiiluu]

@2008tourer

It runs with petrol.

[Duuuuzis]

My 19 year old audi 80 gets started better and no smokes

[Jiiluu]

@Duuuuzis

Lucky you.

[remindp1]

Daewoo Tico better starts in the winter. My punto 1.9D -32 last winter when started up immediately.

[doucems6]

is there a block heater avil. for the ms6? ilsoon be venturing into that climate lol

[Jiiluu]

@doucems6

Yes, both block heater and fuel consuming engine heater are available here in Finland.
