VW sells oil pan heaters fot their jetta’s. i think they’re $65, and they stick on.

i used the magnetic one last year and it was a pain putting on and taking off everytime, and it didn’t heat a big enough area.

ideally, you should get both an oil pan heater and a coolant heater. if your coolant is cold, your temp sensor will run the car in high idle till it’s warm anyway.

the inline rad hose one is terrible. read it up a little bit. nearly 90% fail rate on them, so don’t even bother. the only good ones have their own reservoir and pump.

dont buy magnetic!

buy a VW oilpan heater man.
