You jump into your car on a crisp winter's morning, press the start button/turn the key and... and instead of firing into life, the engine hesitates, cranks slowly or makes a not-so-comforting noise.

Cold weather puts extra strain on almost every part of your vehicle. While a weak battery is often the first thing people blame, it's far from the only cause. Even if your battery is relatively new, your car can still struggle to start when temperatures drop.
