jetta 94 turbo diesel 1.9L

I had a 89 jetta T-diesel and it was not the same engine,,(was a 1.6L)
I have the habit with a diesel.. since,, humm 14 y. with diesel..

have a problem with this one,, 1.9 L.. its comming colder here in canada now..,, around freezing point,, its my first time,, winter with my 1.9L..

had problem few day s ago to stard.. very hard to start.. to cold..

So I think there is a problem with glow plug.. I know how to verify them one,, by one but big job.. ..so I will have to do it.. but..

remark.. those one are fast heat glow plug.. so according to.. its 12 Amp each glow plug.. ,, there is 4 of them,, so 48 Amp is approx. the current needed to light them up..

wire going to glow plug.. this 1.9 L. have only 2 little wire,,
size,,18gauge only.. I find those wire much smaller than on my old 1.6 L engine who was like a 6 Gauge wire..(wire from fuse on the firewall to the glow plug)

is this normal or.. is there a missing wire going to glow plug...

the 2 small wire are comming from a connector who contain 10..or 12 wire locate on the side of the motor block ..

thanks for the information,,
denis..
