Trouble Starting in Cold?

Hey guys-
New to the forum, but have owned my 8 since June. Recently had a cold spell here in Jersey and had a hell of a time starting my car the other day. Anyone else having similar problems?

The answer to your question is Yes, unfortunately.

Consult with your dealer to make sure your PCM is the latest software version, to possibly receive hotter sparkplugs, and also, re-read the Owners Manual and insert that should have come with the car, explaining how to avoid flooding the car and how to re-start it if you have flooded it.

A higher rated batter is in store for new models I hear, so in combination with the hotter spark plugs that should solve the problem, hopefully.
