I am wanting to keep this car but I am wondering how well it does in extreme cold it did good this winter but in my area the wind chill never went below -10 I am wondering if anyone has delt with these cars at say -40?

 

Sorry ment to put 1996

 

My 99 1.8T has never had an issue starting at cold temperatures (we are talking first try starts) and Ive started it at temperatures down to -20 -25F or so.. Ive heard of people using these: just in case.

For the most part I think most fuel injected gasoline cars do pretty well as long as there isnt anything wrong with them..

 

wind chill is the effect that cold and wind have on a living organism. Your car doesn't feel wind chill, just the thermometer actual temp.

 

Ok thanks for the info!

 

cant say for the 96 specifically, but my 01' 2.8 never let me down. but I also had an Optima redtop battery and its pretty much a beast. so that helps

 

I drove my 96 A4 in Minnesota for 270,000 miles. Never had a starting problem...or any problem that was cold related. I now have 179,000 on my 99 A4. They are great cold weather cars.

 

Ok I am glad to hear this I plan on moving to Alaska and I am taking this car with me when I go
