-   9 applications across TWD, TID and TD engines
-   Supersedes 849100
-   Cold start heating element

## 🔌 Function

Heats the incoming air on cranking so a cold engine will fire and pick up cleanly.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Hard starting from cold that clears once the engine has run
-   Heavy white smoke on cranking and for the first seconds of running
-   Element drawing no current, or the supply fuse blowing on the start cycle
-   Element visibly burnt, blistered or broken through
-   Long cranking before the engine catches in cold weather

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   This element draws a heavy current, so isolate the batteries before working on it and check the supply cable and its connections for heat damage at the same time
-   Check the relay and the timer circuit before condemning the element, since both produce the same cold-starting symptom
