- 2001 golf, 2door, all show, no go SOLD 2006.5 Jetta TDI sport DSG... worst vw ever owned.
hey, just picked up one of these http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp;jsessionid=LlscHLYlDXJMwhcxCMz8NLvLv47KLRlGJtd0jPVDq1cmnWdf5JBP!-82739057?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441888979&bmUID=1260760124026 for my sprinter, since it's a royal PITA to put in the oem block heater... magnet grabs like a SOB to the iron block, just above the oil pan. thinking about tacking one on my transmission too, then wiring to a common plug.
Has anyone tried this on a tdi? if i remember correctly, aren't our engines all aluminum? i know the dsg case is, so i guess i won't be using it on the tranny, but i'd really like to cover all my bases in the battle against cold start wear. my 2006 jetta already has a webasto blueheat system in it, which i love, but i can't help but feel like my oil and dsg fluid could benefit hugely from being all warm and gooey on the cold mornings. i haven't actually installed it on my truck yet, but i'm confident it'll help. especially since it holds 12L of oil, and it doesn't like starting up on really cold mornings.
