Hi all

I live in Edmonton, Canada and it is about to get
REAL cold again here.  I have been plugging the
van in during  the winters, trusting that VW
Engineering had done right in designing the
heater.

Anyway,  I wonder what all the cold climate
drivers do to protect the engine from the extreme
cold.  Is there a "real" block-heater or a
circulating water heater that one could install?
Perhaps near the thermostat so it opens?

Thanks to all the people who helped me make a
decision as to what oil filter to use.  From now
on I will use the Mann/Mahle filters for the
vanagon.

Thanks for any replies
