I would like to get a remote start for my Golf TDI. I am not sure if they make them, considering in the winter you have to wait to start. Does anyone have any info about this?
On 2 the TDi's I bought new the dealer has put on the type you glue to the oil pan ,they will get you started in cold weather but it still takes awhile to get warm air from the heater .codylent said:Do you know of a block heater specifically made for the TDI? Or are you talking about the magnetic type you just slap on the side of the oil pan?
This applies, of course, to any diesel engine, and isn't so much "efficiency" as it is inherent in the design.scooperhsd said:Even after you get the car started, bear in mind that the TDI engine is so efficent that it really doesn't make alot of excess heat unless the engine is working.
