After my frost heater element fried, I was thinking of trying something slightly different & cheaper to help warm up my TDI. Recently I upgraded my oil cooler to the much larger PD150 style, I believe it's the same as the 4 motion Passat tdi oil cooler.
Before buying another frost heater for my BEW, I thought I would order a $20 250w oil pan heater ( stick on type) for my oil cooler, I'm hoping leaving it plugged in for a few hours would circulate my warm coolant the same as a frost heater. I'm not expecting it to work even 50% as well, just thought it would be interesting to try.
Can someone chime in who understands more about the coolant circulation system?
Btw I'm not trying to heat my oil here. I have another stick on heater on my oil pan. Trying to get some cheap, head heat.
Thanks
