(Another) block heater question....
Hi again.... so this afternoon, i decited to try out my block heater, and make sure it was still functional (i haven't used it in a while) it was just about 32* outside so it wasn't too cold....I pluged her in at about 4, and went to start at 6. I fliped the key to the on postion, and the "wait to start light" was only on momentarily, and it fired right up. I glanced over at the temp gauge, but it read just a hair over the C mark.... is this normal, or should the temp been higher off the bat?? the glow plugs only cycled on for a sec, so i would imagine that the heater is working, although i was under the assumption the the temp gauge would go up some also.... note that it was only pluged in for 2 hours, (this is what the manual states is suffecent time) thanks!!

sounds ok to me... the other night I plugged mine in and the temp gauge was below the "C" mark. when I turned the key later it was half a needle above the "C" mark and it started fine (earlier that day, before I started plugging it in, I went to start it and it fired off like it was running on 5 cylinders) yea gads!!
