ID parts guys -- with fuel economy being the main factor, even if just a slight increase, would this benefit a bay area california driver where morning temps are often in 30's - 40's? i drop my kids of at school, then trip(s) to supply houses, etc, before then heading to work. all quick short trips, each ~ 5 miles or under. car often never reaches full operating temperature in the mornings 6 days a week. i just installed a brand new thermostat so on freeway car reaches 190 just fine.

in the atfternoon i often have longer distance trip(s) -- 25 to 50 miles -- with ambient being 60 -low 70's. any problems leaving it on?

wondering if this might also add additional benefit for those running full bio or higher blends in winter? i understand it's not heating the fuel in the tank, but as it recirculates back through to the tank, an engine heating faster would benefit this, right? we had a.m temps in the 20's for about a week...

Any new manufactures for this on a 2011 Jetta TDI?

Would love to put one on my mothers TDI since she complains about heat not being very hot compared to my Gas VW GTI.

Thanks

Thanks guys,

I saw the IDparts option but was hoping somebody else was selling them for less or even locally in Canada.

Thanks
