My wife and I will be relocating back into the northeast shortly.. A guy at work had a 2014 Jetta TDI he traded in and speaks of an intercooler heater? are these things something people in the north do with these cars?
Block, coolant, oil, all heating the block at the end of the day
Are any of those universal magnetic block heaters worthwhile? must be something universal that works in one way or another. Ideally without being a fire hazard.
I have a Frost Heater (frost has nothing to do with frosty temps, the vendor's name is Terry Frost) installed on my Passat and also had one on my 2010 JSW. It is not necessary to insure that your TDI will start in sub zero temps but it sure is nice, not only for the fast cabin heat but the car starts like it is July just turn the key and go.Yup. Pretty silly to parse semantics. The traditional freeze plug block heaters are also coolant heaters. I've never had any problems starting my mk6 at down to -15F. Does seem happier with the frostheater at arctic temps though- and I get heat much faster when I plug it in.
