cold weather \'hard\' starting
if a tdi starts in cold weather, does it matter how 'hard' it starts? it sounds like it is mis-firing, but after i let it idle for a few minutes, then drive it, it seems ok. is cold starting bad for the engine, or do theya ll just sound cranky?
it did start when it was -10f without additive, but it wasn't very happy. if it starts when it is this cold do i really need to worry about an anti-gelling additive, or can i assume they are already adding one to the fuel in my area?
