Power shifting?

[R.O.R-2.0]

I haven't yet had the pleasure of bumpstarting/popstarting my diesel. I thought it would be difficult because of the high compression, is it easy to do?

if your battery has enough juice to burn the glow plugs for a second, then it will fire right up on a small hill with little effort. if your battery is stone dead tho, it might take a little more..

Surprisingly, yes it is.

if its hot, it jumps to life no problem.

when your battery is dead, but has enough charge to light the plugs off, they bump start EASY. like, easier than a gasser possibly.
