Zerostart tank heaters are what  Frost Heater uses.

There's a current thread happening at TDI Club about them.   Many people are saying to save your time and just buy the kit.  I've seen a few new kits advertised for about $75.

Ave you resealed your air flaps in the heater box?  My heat starts way sooner and blows way hotter since that was done.

I also have half of my radiator covered in cardboard.  In a few weeks, the entire thing will be covered.

I haven't touched much of anything. When the engine is up to temp I have great heat, it just took it a good long time last year to get it warm.

If you have the bypass like the 1.6TD, I advocate the hose heater. Easy and works very well.
