I would not like to be negative, but with everything going on this site with
coolants, pumps, pressure,  hoses, leaks etc etc, I do not know if I would
try to install a heater like the one you are mentionning ??? I would do it
on a normal car, but... I have always used the ones from the  dealer, (cost:
around 55.$cdn)   and eventhough again, I do not understand why vw engineers
never came up with something  to perform better ( always thought that
germany was also a cold country ), zephyr starts pretty good even at - 30' C
( -22'F ) with good plugs, 5W30 semi syn oil (can tire on sale always) etc
etc...one thing I have not install this year is my electric blanket around
the battery... well it was nice to hear from you and hope that winnipeg will
keep stopping the high winds coming from the rockies, so that they they do
not reach quebec !!! happy y2k!
