Yeahbut, the engine temp isn't normal. Of course we don't really have a great
indicator of what normal is other than the temp gauge is showing low.TDIs are
notoriously slow to warm up but my Jetta will be up to operating temp at 0F by

Yes, that is it exactly. Very basic simple machine.
The advantage of it over most of the new models is that the basic frame

True, but if the valve is closed there's no flow, so the lines are going to be
