A friend of mine plugs his 1999.5 Golf TDI in year around to save wear & tear and fuel consumption on his diesel engine.
He has recommended that I do the same with my new Jetta TDI, even though the engine will start just fine without one.
He says that it only costs about 3 cents a day!
I have done some research and Zero Start (Division of Phillips & Temro) makes one to fit all VW engines.
VW uses a 36.5mm freeze plug in all their applications and Zero Start makes the part for them: part #310-0034.
Question:
Is it really worth it (engine wear & tear) to install an Engine Frost or Freeze Plug Heater on my new TDI?
