It has been -25 F around here lately at night. During the day, it has warmed up to -10 F. I have not been able to start the 2004 at these temps. It seems that lower than +5 F, I get a lot of problems starting. I am told that the fuel here is #1 that is made for low temps.
I would like folks to help me with a couple of decisions.
Should I use a anti-gelling additive? Do they work?
Should I install a block heater - is there a block heater made for the sprinter?
Should I install a radiator heater?
I noticed in another recent post that other folks are not having problems with extremely cold starting. Any suggestion would help. As it is I have a highly german engineered hunk of steel sitting in my driveway blocking the only car (88 Toyota Tercel) that I know will start every time.
Thanks.
