cold climate starts

[mtclub@centurytel.net]

I live in Montana, where the weather can get well below zero (farenheit) for weeks at a time in January/February. I have a 2005 Cayenne Turbo - is there anything special to know about cold weather starts? I have not seen anything about block or engine heaters, so I assume that is not an option?

Thanks!!!!!!

i dont know if they are an option in US but in Europe they are quite common. I just DYI installed one into my Turbo.They are manufactured by WEBASTO. here is one from Touareg

DYI you are looking at about $1000 with used WEBASTO. for that dont buy non-Touareg webasto as generic WEBASTO has different control unit and WEBASTO will charge you $$ for control unit. I think new WEBASTO will be around $600 as a porsche part plus bunch of tubes.

I bought almost identical (to link) WEBASTO from Touareg with all pipes and pumps/valves and installed it. if interested i can write down what you need. you will need somebody with PIWIS to code it at the end.

I have customers that have no starting aids and they have never had an issue here where it is often -30 C and as cold as -45 C.
