[Vwdiesel] multiple glow-plug cycles

[Brett]

Don't worry about it, when it's this cold sometimes it's necessary. In
extreme temperatures, I usually do two glow cycles. I've done this on both
the Jettas I've owned, doesn't hurt them that I know of. The plugs of course
will wear out a little faster, but that's about it from my experience.

How did you manage to import a Canadian spec Eurovan to the U.S.? Just
curious.
