I also plan on blocking my grill, I want to use a scrap bumper covers plastic, cutting it to fit one piece over the grill cutouts,a great thing about diesels is they run cool so grill blocking is less of an issue than with its gasoline counter part..
Great idea using vag com to find out your thermostats opening temperature, Do you know offhand if you can find the oil temp. and pressure in real time with the vag com free edition? if so then I may just mount a lcd screen instead of 3 or more gauges.

& Congratulation on your improved fuel mileage !
