Last night I picked up my first TDI: an '11 JSW, black on black, with a six speed manual and a panoramic sunroof. Mileage is 97K. At $10K I feel like I overpaid a bit; however, the car did come with a detailed service history and a four year extended warranty. I love the car and had a blast driving it home last night. This morning, however, it wouldn't start. To make a long story short, my local dealership diagnosed the problem as a frozen starter. It was caused, they said, by the car sitting on the lot for so long in cold temperatures. It's in their heated garage now, defrosting.
I'm concerned about this happening again. After reading into the sticky about frozen intercoolers I've come to realize I'm in unchartered territory. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I should do to help ensure the reliability of my new TDI?
