Hello everyone, Today my wife accidentally left my 2013 tdi running in the driveway for about 4 hrs. Could this cause any permanent damage. TIA Dave.
Nope. Just a waste of fuel.
I've seen some here left running overnight in the extreme cold.
My dad worked a bit in the Arctic as a heavy duty mechanic in the early 60's, they would leave the diesel equipment running 24/7 in the winter unless they were at the workyard and could leave it in a heated tent. I remember him saying starting a -40° cold soaked D8 took the best part of a day.
Yours
