Well thanks for everyones helpful input. After changing the fuel filter adding Power Service fuel additive for gelling and adding G12 coolant I felt quite confident I did everything I could do to winterize My TDI Jetta. Expecting freezing weather come Monday I was ready for my 45 minute drive to work.Thank you , I never really thought of it . Its been cold lately and I havent changed my fuel filter in one or two service periods. I will change the fuel filter and add fuel treatment for cold. Had trouble starting car today ,took three turns of the key before starting a couple times. Never did that before.
The weather report says in the thirtys By this Monday! Holy Shiite ! Thats butt freezing cold for the Coast but not unexpected. Thanks for the heads up !
Sunday night the weather was diminishing and temperatures were dropping.
Monday morning its butt freezing cold winds out of the North at 30mph wind chill 25-28 degrees its 4:30 in the morning pitch black outside except the lonesome porchlight as I looked out at my car.
At 4: 45 I had to depart and bravely opened the door and walked into the abyss of night and freezing air , and walked right past my Jetta and jumped into my wifes Chevy truck and drove away to work!
