Ways to shorten warming up times of an diesel engine
We al strugle to heat up our diesel faster, so we can benefit from the following points:
- faster hot engine, so les fuel use
- faster hot coolant, so the cabineheater works
- longer life time/less wear on the engine
The following things are stuf i know to fight against the cold engine.
- grill block: works good for faster warming up, but can't block to much otherwise you overheat the eninge when driving long runs (+30 minutes)
- block heater: works good for warming up the engine, cheap but only works when you have acces to 220V (or other voltages, depends on country location) doesn't work at the mal or other places where you can't plug it in
-webasto block heater: works good, with option it heats the cabin, so no more frozen windows. Bad thing: cost a lot of monney...
Annybody has other idea's?
