At work it's not under a roof but i can use the block heater in there.
It's a bit odd IMO that an turbodiesel engine is only 65hp...why add an another part needing maintenance for basicly nothing? 
Surely you could get the same amount of power out of a n/a engine. |
I had an N/A 1.6L VW diesel that produced 53hp at sea level. There turbo version would have produced 69hp.
However, at my altitude N/A vehicles lose about 1/3 their horsepower. So my diesel was probably around 35hp. Anyhow, it sure felt like 35hp. I even got pulled over because the officer was concerned I was going so slow and producing so much smoke as I had it wound up in low gear climbing an 8% grade.
