[Vwdiesel] Northern Ohio Roads Closed

[Dave Cook]

I think today was our coldest day.  I think that I saw 11 degrees during the "warm" part of the day but it has primarily been in the single digits.  I've never been as excited for 40 degrees as I am right now-that is the weekend's forecast.  Tomorrow's 33 will be downright balmy!

I had to replace the freaking starter in my Golf today.  

I was so pissed because I replaced it in November prior to the first cold snap specifically so that I wouldn't have to dick around with it in cold weather.  So I got to replace a starter on the coldest day so far!  Thankfully I got my garage largely cleaned out last week while it was warmer!!  So I was able to run the propane heater for a few minutes, bundle up, and get it swapped without too much drama.  It really is fairly simple on the Golf, or I'm well practiced.

The replacement rebuild starter seems to spin faster than the old one, so I have hope it'll work properly.

It isn't as cold here in NC. Supposed to get down to 9 tonight. I'm curious
as to how the 91 jetta will start. So far no issues and I'm running 20w-50
in it AMSOIL synthetic right now.  I guess tomorrow will tell.
