So does anyone now what kind of uphill battle I'm going to be in with VW in regards to a blown head gasket due to intercooler icing? Hopefully its just a head gasket and not a cracked block.

I've got 11K miles on my '13. An earlier thread mentions that I started my diesel after it had sat overnight in the garage following a long trip in cold weather. It turned over very slowly and at first I thought I might have left something on and ran the battery dead.
I checked the oil immediately after I was tipped off about the icing from another user on this forum. The oil looked fine after the initial start. Today I drove it for 5 miles to see if would run OK. It ran fine. I drove it long enough to get the engine up to temp and the cooling system under pressure. The photo shows what the dipstick looked like after the I allowed the engine to cool down.
