So I've been contemplating getting a new Passat TDI as I'm kinda fascinated with getting 800 miles on a tank of fuel. Does anyone here have one of the newer TDI's that can tell me how they start in cold weather--i.e. VT cold weather?
They don't come with optional block heaters like the older diesel engines and even so the magazine reviews report starting fine in 20F, that is completely different than 0F. And of course I can't trust the car salesmen to give me the honest scoop.
Or am I just nuts for contemplating this and stick with gasoline?
