[Vwdiesel] Heater

[82 Diesel Westy]

Nick, that is some super quick heat, pretty sure my
gasser 90 Audi had pre-heat electric coils in the
heater box to get quick heat.  Yes, my TDI take a good
5-8 miles to get hot, Gloves are a must when leaving
on cold morning, like today, 15F.

I would not think your 91 eco TD has the pre-heat
coils, but it is possible.

What is with the 0 oil pressure at the head, hummmmm,
yet another 1.6 mistory head.
