I did a search but could not find anything on Winter Idling.
I always heard it was not good to idle your car in the winter then shutting it off. I know a lot of teener owners do not drive their car much in the winter and I was wondering what they do to keep the cobwebs out! I know a lot winterize their cars and don't drive it but I want to hear from those who drive it on the rare winter days when there is a hint of spring in the air. Not like the picture!

The idle issue is that the engine warms up faster under load than just letting it sit and idle. It will also produce more heat for your heater and quicker if the engine is under load.
Letting it idle before shutting it down is absurd unless you got it so hot the aluminum is starting to melt. 914s are fun in snow and ice .... yeah! |
