Auxillary heating!
Auxillary heating!
Fed up of freezing my nuts off for 20 mins every morning. I remember the fiat panda had an electric heater:) now i'm going to liberate one and put it in my 340. Just a drunken idea that might get past the beermat / Fag-packet

Back flush the heater matrix and bung in a new thermo.
Never had a problem with my redblocks in fact you could fry an egg on the dash after 5 mins.

Engine block heater is a standard accessory pretty much on every car in here. According to VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland, one cold start of non-preheated engine in sub zero temperatures equals from 100 to 600km of driving what comes to engine wear. Fuel consumption is also a lot higher before the engine reaches normal operating temperature.
Of course it's nice to have preheated interior also as most cars have splitted cable harness for interior heater also.
Calix and Defa are the major brands in electrical pre-heaters.
