You should experiment with making the block smaller. Once you know how large it should be at what time of the year, you can make different blocks for summer and winter, or add an extra winter cover to the summer block.

Since you have a turbodiesel, it is probably quite efficient, so it takes a long time to warm up, and doesn't overheat too often (especially if you ecodrive). This should let you get away with at least a partial block for most of the year.

Have you blocked the lower grille, under the bumper? Start blocking from the sides and work your way towards the center. If you can, keep the upper grille blocked year round and experiment with the lower grille. You may also try an openable block, such as mine:



You can read about it here in my modding thread.
