Yes, you definitely need a block heater and Grille blocking too. ;) Cheers; MSantos |
Re: Wow, -14 degrees this morning!
With the pipe insulation in just the upper grills and temps at -8 and -23 with wind chill I was able to get 41mpg on my 15-minute morning commute and the car was able to sustain normal operating temps.
Pipe insulation is a must-do winter mod for the HCHII. Cheers, nf P.S. Post duplicated in pipe insulation thread for reference. |
Re: Wow, -14 degrees this morning!
What are you waiting for noflash, block the bottom. I drive in temp. up to 60 Deg. without problems. I make sure the temp indiciator is on when temp warm up. I have never had the needle past half or the fan come on for that matter!:P H

Re: Wow, -14 degrees this morning!
I did the opposite of noflash. I insulated only the bottom of the grille.
I think the upper grille slots on the HCH I are slimmer than those on the HCH II, but I'm not sure about that. Our temps here don't get anywhere near -14 though. Brr. |
