CDI motors don't need a block heater realistically unless you live where its -10 or less all winter. My TDI started up this past week when it was -4F the same as it does when its 50F.....glow cycle lasted about 8-10 seconds. Started in less than 2 cranks. Then again my 617 didn't have any issues either, but that's very dependent on engine/battery/glowplug/starter health.
