Being that the TDI is a diesel, and that I've seen many diesel trucks idle for hours on end (prior to the new emissions rules for big trucks), is it harmful to idle a TDI engine for, say, 1 hour?
If I make a long road trip this summer, and decide to pull over for a few hours to get some rest at a rest stop, would I be causing any harm to idle and keep the A/C on? Let's say 1-3 hours?
I know, it's a ridiculous question. But somebody must have tried at least 45 minutes in bad traffic or something similar?
If I'm in 90+ degree heat in the middle of the night, a little A/C would sure be nice! I'm talking a 600 mile road trip... so a hotel is kinda pointless.
