It got down to 30F the other night and I had to turn the car over about 10 times before it started. I would not think this is typical behavior. There is also a 3 to 4 mpg decrease in fuel economy. For next winter I would like to install a block warmer and fuel heater.
Are there any recommendations from where to get these parts? I would like to pick up a coolant fuel heater rather than an electric one. I do not want to tap into the juice.
The only block heaters I have found are the kind that heat the coolant. Are there any of the filament type out there?
The glow plugs have been changed and the computer re-programmed by the dealer.
