I use VW screenwash at a pretty high concentrate. Doesn't freeze, and acts as a very good de-icer.

Start it up for 10/15mins before your ready to go. Or if you can get electric to it. Put a fan heater inside it and leave ir running all night.
i was like what you mean all its doing is running off the turbo timer to warm up the engine, your going to graze the pistons in no time "/ what does that mean never heard of it before must do less damage than driving straight from cold |
Shell card lol
But cardboard on windscreen and if you have quick warming heaters like mine then it's easy to clear the fog off. A/c heats up quicker and is advised that it's used every day for couple of minutes at least to keep it working correctly. Oh and I forgot, heated seats work lurvley in this cold lol |
He probably means glaze the pistons (Cylinder liners).
I can't see how though, the fuelling looks after itself, ok it takes longer to warm up on idle, but then maybe more harm done driving it up to temp?? Not sure on this one. But glazing is where the cross hatch marks on the liners wear away. These marks allow oil to be trapped and lube the rings. |
ah okay, learn something new!
i would have said driving it from cold will much more damage as when say keep off boost, its not that easy i have to join an A1 3 turns from my road so i cant exactly poodly on keeping below 3k revs Ahaha |
Heated garage :smug:

Same as, I let it tick over for 10mins until the screen is cleared then drive it no higher than 2.5k rpm until shes hot! :thumb:

There's a lot of owners with deaf/patient neighbours...
|
:P 6 am go and start the car for 10 mins ! can't wait tilll i get my nur spec R fitted then there may be some issues, dout it tho :)
|
:lol1:
Its the Blitz Nur Spec R alarm clock! You will be heard for miles around when you fit that, no doubt about it - especially when its cold, animals will flee from you into the next county and when you leave your neighbours will chase you with pitch forks and flaming torches! |

What i do is leave my noisy car in its garage and take the van with a heated screen to work.
|
Haha yeah the t**ts going to work now i bet
6AM every1 should be awake by then :D haha I'm really trying to hear a blitz in person! i cant understand quite how loud in vids! |
I cope with the outside easy enough, with a sheet of cardboard under the wipers.........its the bloody inside that irritates the sh*t out of me and takes an age or two to clear...peering through a hole the size of periscope on the windscreen is no fun at 6am :D nor is it fun when the doors are frozen up and you cant even get in haha
|
My car on tick over is quite quiet but its the low grumble you can't tell whether its enough to wake people. I leave at 6, so tend to leave without ticking over at very very low revs.
The window seems to *steam up easily, to the point I have to lean my head out of the side window to watch where I'm going. Then I sit at the end of the next road at tickover, I don't care if I wake the next street. *I say steam but the microfibre demister pad doesn't touch it. |

Yup, exactly the same, but cold water across the seal helps that out lol...
Whats more embarrasing is pulling into petrol station and not able to open the fuel door cos thats bloody frozen too :lol1: |

Turn engine on. Put blowers on screen, full blast and press the button to recycle the air in the cabin rather then suck from outside.. Leave 4mins while I have a smoke.
If I'm late I'll do a squirt of deicer - if your worried about deicer then what does salt do to your cars If I'm not late I happily scrape.. Winds me up seeing people throw water ove their screen. Our nob jockey neighbour parks on a bend and pours his water on the car that then ices up the bend. |
