It has been cold up here for the past couple weeks. We drove the wagon to a hockey tournament on the weekend. -35 celcius with windchill factor =-45 degrees celcius out side. Mostly highway driving with lots of idleing in between. Sure likes to pound back the diesel when it is that cold. Started it at 9 a.m and shut it off 11:30 p.m that day. I plugged in the block heater overnight and the following day it started.... but the battery light lit up for a few seconds then the car died. I waited for a few more minutes then started it again...no baterry light and drove it the rest of the day. I wonder why that light came on briefly? I have a vision of the belt freezing to the pulley from condensation of the warm motor cooling down when parked the night before?
It is suppossed to be -49 C tonight. I am staying indoors...again.
