IIRC by '82 they weren't terrible engines but the damage was already done.
I was talking to some old timers at a local lunch spot the other day, one guy
had a diesel pickup that he plugs in, I pointed out that neither of my VWs have
block heaters and the '05 doesn't even have a place to put a block heater
(supposedly no freeze plugs) and neither has ever failed to start due to temps
although the coldest I've ever tested was -6F just because thats the coldest
its been here since I got the Jetta. I forgot to point out that I never found
out how cold it had to be before a 190D wouldn't start, I tried that at like
-10F...

One of my best decisions ever - nearly bought new Olds Diesel in Oct '79
but did not; 'bought '80 MB 240D instead. Whew! 'Just missed by that
bullet!
