Custom-Fit Engine Heaters for Volkswagen TDI diesels
It was a cold morning in Minnesota well below zero. I turned the key,
waited for the glow plugs, and fired up my TDI. Of course the TDI will
start well below zero, but for the first 10 miles of my commute I froze and
shivered. This is why I developed a heater for the TDI…

TDIHeater Details:
- Volkswagen TDI Diesel Engine Coolant Heater Kit is custom fit for Golfs, Jettas, Beetles, and Passats with the TDI engine. The 1000 WATT tank heater circulates coolant throughout
the engine for QUICKER STARTS AND INSTANT HEAT! (TDI owners know how long it
takes to get heat!)
- Benefits include: reducing wear on the glow plugs, starter and battery.
Oil pan heaters only heat the oil, and could be a fire hazard. Without any accessible frostplugs on the engine, a frostplug heater
is not an option either.
- Numerous VW dealers buy our TDIHeater™ in quantity and install them in brand new TDIs!
- The kit is compact in size, comes pre-assembled with all necessary parts,
hoses, and mounting bracket, to install the heater in an afternoon. Just add
your own coolant and time.
- These are brand new heaters engineered to fit exclusively the
1996 to 2006 TDI engines. The heater will not fit older diesels. The heater is about the size of two 12oz soda pop
cans, and fits nicely under the hood.
- The kit fits like a glove, and has good clearance around the heater
even when installing the unit. It will have a factory appearance when installed.
I have had people say it looks factory when looking at mine.
- I developed this kit because I was tired of cold mornings with no heat
up to 10 miles, and unable to locate someone producing a heater that actually
fits and works. Our kit ensures correct installation and operation. Tank heaters
need to be properly located and installed or they will not work.
- Engineered with the following kept in mind:
• It must appear factory, like it was designed to be
there with clearance around the unit
• It must maintain factory bend radius requirements for
coolant hoses
• It must have a low or no impact on the cooling system
• It must be mounted in such a way to minimize engine
vibration
• It must consist of top-quality components for at least
a 100,000 mile or more service life
• It must not have a check-valve so no engine damage
occurs

- The heater is a ZeroStartTM Brand heater with GatesTM Brand hoses developed
exclusively for the kit. All the brackets and hoses come pre-installed on the
heater so it bolts right in and works. This is a No-hassle drop-in kit using
simple hand tools.
- Included in the kit is detailed step-by-step instruction booklet with color
photos to ensure a trouble-free installation with NO guesswork, fabrication,
or backyard engineering required.
