[Vwdiesel] Winter? what's that?... ;-)

[Shawn Wright]

All this talk of cold weather starting sure makes me glad to live on 
Vancouver Island! 

Sure, we had a cold snap last week where it got to -14C, but that was 
record breaking territory! Its been 5-10 above zero ever since though.

I don't envy you guys - I started my old TD the day before it hit -14C, just 
to check that the antifreeze was ok, and it was a tough start, even at -
10C. (it's been off the road for 10 months).

Sorry... that's my cold weather story - pretty sad, I know...

ps: I once used a 500W halogen worklight under the oilpan in a garage to 
get my Jetta D going at about -20C, I found out later that I had two dead 
glow plugs...

pps: Hey look, are those tulips coming up?  ;-)
