how can i fix my vauxhall corsa 1.3 cdti cold start problem?

For what it costs I would pop in a Coolant temperature sender!
There is a dealer bulletin where they state it needs an uprated starter motor.

i had a recall to the vauxhall dealership on a corsa 08 d model 1.3 cdti .they had to change the starter or a module on the starter for cold starting .did not see any difference as there was no problem before.cannot say they are the best engines as mine smokes a lot when cold until warm.

other option is break it and sell me the engine, mine blew a turbo and melted a piston

are you using correct grade of engine oil,makes a big difference when freezing,also is battery correct amp/hour for your vehicle type,this also makes a big difference to speed of engine turning over.[needs to turn as fast as possible on a diesel engine]
