I have owned my gt tdi since july,and am very happy with it so far.
With winter approaching,i am reading that the diesel engines do not generate a great deal of heat in to the system,is this correct?
During the last couple of days,i have been reading about the Kenlowe pre heater,which you plug into the mains,this then warms the engine coolant to 85 degrees,this is fine except when both my wife and myself leave work every day,we won't be able to plug the thing in.
My second option was a remote starter,has anybody got one?
how much to they cost?(i already have the factory alarm system)
do they do what they say on the box?
what about the security and insurance implications? (engine running,with no occupant)
what happens if like me,you leave the car in gear incase the rear disc brakes don't hold?
Thank for any answers,but i would like to sort this out before the really cold weather comes !
