Hey, love the site. New here and thought I'd share a bit and ask for advice at the same time. This is my second diesel VW, my first was a 1979 Rabbit. Great mileage with the Rabbit, drove it for 470000 miles. My golf is fairly low mileage with only 224000 miles on it. Being winter time here in upstate NY has its fun moments, I was rather worried about the starting at low temperature, but so far this week it's been below 0 {F} this morning it was -7f {- 21c} out and it took about 15 seconds to fire, not bad really, but I think I'll start plugging it in at night and let the block warm up a few hours before work {0430} Fuel mileage is a bit lacking, I seem to average around 42 mpg {67 kpg} when it's warm out it fires first time every time. Could the injectors need to be changed, other than that, she runs like a top. Almost totally rust free, a little work and it will be back in great shape again.
