- Diesel engines are notorious for hard starting in cold weather. There are a number of different solutions available for assisting with this - block heaters, coolant heaters, or oil pan heaters. I've chosen to install a Kat's brand "Silicone Hot Pad"n which installs on the oil pan very simply with minimal tools. Watch till the end to see my results on a 8 degree Fahrenheit cold start!

Really good review - nicely done!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
i live 15min frm work. i just add a strip of card board to block air across the radi, i get cbain air about the last 5 min. in the trip. block heater is a life saver on damn cold starts!
If you want heat in the cabine install a heater for your coolant circle. I have a passive 400W heater installed from Sweden and I have heat on my Diesel nearly instant.
For supporting the engine startup I am going to also install a heat pad soon 😎
Like for the Z on the rear differential!
My TDI in my 02 golf (ALH) does not get heat above 80'F in winter even after an 8H drive only 80'F out the vents. where my other cars push out engine temps out the vents. Its worth it to invest in heated seats for your jeep! thats what i did. :) Much better than waiting for heat.
Yeah, I have a Milwaukee heated jacket that is really nice in that way! This proved to not get me to operating temperature faster but it certainly makes starting easier on EVERYTHING - starter motor, battery, and engine getting oil flowing where it needs it faster. I'd guess it helps a minor amount with fuel efficiency too as the engine revs a lot smoother and just overall responds better the first few miles into a drive.
What you need to do is get some $2 pipe insulation from home depot and block your grilles completely. You will get strong heat. If you hear your fan clicking on remove a little bit of insulation at a time until it does not come on regularly.
Pretty cool! I should get one for my trans transmission. The block heater works fine, but the transmission is so dang cold it takes 2 miles after it warms up just to get to 88 degrees for lockup to work
So you can’t go 88 MPH until it hits 88°. Sounds like a problem for Doc 🤔
Have an 03 alh in my 97 zj. Was looking at putting in a block heater to see if it would help with the no heat since im up in new England. Maybe it will be better. Love the videos . hope to see more. Maybe one about ac in?
Very cool swap! If I figure anything out with heat I will for sure make a video about it. Also, an AC video is definitely in the works and will be quite involved
What do you think about a battery pad heater on the oil pan? Im worried about the oil pan pad heater getting so hot leaving it plugged in at night.
Do the oil pan heater for the oil pan. I run mine on a wemo switch and have it programmed to come on about 3-4 hours before I would need to start it up depending on how cold it’s going to be.
I'm more convinced every day that I have to devise way to retain the VW coolant glow plugs somehow. 🥶
Feedback on the vid: either drop the volume on the background music or drop the music entirely, it's distracting from your content.
Thanks Alan!

Awesome plug thing where did you get it?
All the parts used are linked in the description 😎
what app are you using on your Joying device to dhow guages?
Torque Pro
Is the lack of heat from the EGR delete?
the EGR system definitely helps it to reach operating temperature faster but I don't think it really keeps it from holding temp once it hits operating temperature. But if that's the trade off I'll take it, not putting that garbage system back on!
I don’t believe it is entirely, I had it EGR deleted in the car before I pulled the engine, took longer to reach temp but still cooked up some good heat
diesel problems. :)
Haha yep. I ain’t mad tho!
