[s-cars] Block Heater Question

[Frederic L'Huillier]

Hi,

Actually a block heater will be very good. I heard or read that 70% of the
internal dammages caused during an engine life are done when the engine is
started. Formula 1 Engine are started only with oil and water already at the
right temperature.
Any system to warm the oil before starting the engine will greatly help.

Frederic.

PS; I can already read Joern's reply: you need oil in your engine in order
to warn it !!!!!!

Hi Randy,

	I don't think the block heater is even available from Audi.

	I have owned s-cars (without block heaters) for a about 4 years now
and have never had a problem with a car starting. Even when it's been
sitting outside for weeks on end in 30 below.... (I used to travel a lot).
It always started first crank.... Never had an issue...

	Get good oil and you should be fine...

Cheers,
