There are some interference issues if you try and install a Frostheater on this motor with a dieselgeek bypass filter. Check out pictures and posts here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=229298

Are there any other deals comming up in the next little bit? Unfortunately I don't need two so the free shipping won't do anything for me.

Thanks for the heater. Why did I wait 6 years for this kind of comfort. Driving mornings are comfortable now.

As a guy who was on the phone with Terry a few times (I ordered the wrong heater first, then smacked my oil pan and traded the car in before I could install it, so another call to Terry so he could send me yet another one,) I can tell you he's a great guy to deal with--knows his stuff and is very patient and knowledgeable. As for the product, I wouldn't ever have another TDI without it. Gotta love the instant start and instant heat in sub-freezing temps! Thanks, man.

Terry, just a quick question: how many amps does the Frostheater draw? It looks like (by my amateur calculations) it should be 8.33A, but I figured I'd check with you. Reason I ask is that the heater plugged in is suddenly tripping my GFCI outlet in the garage. I don't think 8.33 amps should be doing that, so I think I'm gonna call an electrician. But I wanted to ask you first.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I did some testing on power consumption and posted it here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?p=2389606#post2389606
I don't think the 1000W (rated) unit should trip a protected outlet. Are those outlets not designed to handle hair dryers? Most hair dryers are rated at higher that 1000W... will a hair drying trip the outlet? How about a toaster?

8.3 amps is correct. Sound slike you'll need to replace your GFI in your garage circuit, they tend to be very weak in garage environments with moisture and cold.bakdoor said:

mine is plugged into a gfci, via a heavy duty timer with a 15a breaker. works just fine, hasn't ever tripped. For anyone that does not have one of terry's heaters, he has a fine product- once you have one, you will wonder how you ever got along without it! (free plug for a great guy!)
I think it's about time I got one of these for my beetle... My trips are usually too short to get any appreciable heat, and that can't be very good for the car over the long haul. Plus, it's unusually cold this winter... (or is it just me...)
