Hello, first time poster/member here at TDIClub.
Can anyone please help with my decision making process about block heaters.
I own a 2002 Jetta TDI 1.9
Last year in Rhode Island we had several days/nights were the temp was below zero. My car would not start, I would have to crank it till the battery ran out, then charge/boost the battery. After 15 mins of cranking, the engine would fire up. It was recommended that I get a block heater for my car.
This is where I am asking for your help. Does anyone know of a good type type of heater to get. Im looking for something inexpensive, but functional.
I plan on using the heater only when I know its going to get cold. and lso that is fairly easy to install. I am however open to any and all suggestions.
What do y'all use for your VW's?
