If the engine is a little tired with time will also compound the issue. Your state is not rust free either I believe. Rust did a lot of them in.

This is definitely one of my concerns. Last winter we had some pretty cold days where it got into the single digits. I was able to get my 240D started with some extra cranking even when my starter was going out. This rabbit has 230K so I'm curious as to how much life can be expected from that motor or if it's likely to have been rebuilt.
