Any of you tdi guys leave the car outside last night and not use a heater or put anything into the fuel ? Did the car start right up , or have you ever had any starting problems leaving it out in the cold ? Only thinking about this bc a fellow employee moved our big truck out and left it out all weekend and it wouldn’t start and capital land had to come and changed the fuel filter to get it started . Just curious. ---

Everyone I’ve owned started fine even in the below zero weather… My wagon is a bit cranky because it needs a new glowplug harness… With that replaced it will be perfect ---

Less oil capacity, less fuel used to run (read: needed to run), etc. I assume. Plus TDI’s were made so any jamoke can get in and drive it (hence the influx of TDI’s on this forum lately). ---
