Problem: frozen breath on the windshield. If it's super cold, your breath freezes on the windshield and the TDI doesn't get heat for a much longer time than a gasser.
Possible solutions are block heater or freeze plug. Frankly, it's too cold to work on the car right now.
Quick ghettorific solution: 12V hair dryer that plugs into the cig lighter.
My friend's gasser A5 Jetta has an electric heater that really helps on cold mornings. The air isn't warm but it's not ice cold either. I was thinking that a quick blast with the hair dryer on the windshield can clear it up so I can actually see. The TDI doesn't get any heat for at least 5 minutes and I already idle the car for 1 minute to scape the windshield. Ghetto solution, but I think it will work!
