Well....proper punctuation sure helps.... Otherwise, I know of several machines that have been hurt badly in the cold, if not warmed correctly. Some live by the, "fire and go" mentality. I certainly. don't. However, the pumps usually take the brunt, followed by anything elastic like seals, hoses, etc. They lose their elastic properties in cold.

Really sounds like your valve was on the edge and you just helped it along. Hard for me to attribute that to cold weather but no clue where or what it does.

Good day
It may be a case for main pressure cross over to the servo side (No more than 710 p.s.i.). I suggest check it out to prevent another bad experience.
Kind regards

You can't. Obsolete tool that is no longer available. Only tools available today for that are DR ZX (which is spotty with connection to the machine at best) or MPDr, which is a dealer only diagnostic software not available to the general public. The piroted versions out there that are available are spotty with connecting to the machine as well.

It would help tremendously if you would offer more information about just which/what solenoid blew off. After all, none of us is at the machine seeing for ourselves what has failed so we really have no clue what valve you're referring to.
