Warming up in winter - Toyota Land Cruiser, 4.5L, 2009

Warming up in winter torments ... you have to wait a very long time - diesel engines heat up endlessly ...
And without warming up I don't want to drive yet - I want to run the machine well)

there is a power hit button - winter heating, it works like a suction, it warms up much faster! try

is this button worth using? I turned it on 3 times when the arrow had already risen to division 1 at least ... and so it seems to me that the engine is being raped ...

This is the button for warming up the engine. The speed increases slightly + the electric heater for cooling the liquid turns on. There is definitely no harm. The only thing - it is better to use it on the move only in motion - for an automatic transmission it is not very useful to stand in drive mode at increased speeds.

and if it's very cold? Can I turn it on right away? or better let it stand ...
it seems to me to rape the engine right away is also not very useful))) Dealers do not even know about this button)))

Well, I don’t know, it warms up quickly! true autorun is worth it, so I'm not worried. but for the time being it warms up like a Mitsubishi ...

I turn on 5 seconds after starting - when the engine itself increases speed to warm up. I think from now on, you can turn it on;)

Near 200k. Winters in Krasnoyarsk do not indulge in warmth, especially the last one. When I bought the Webasta I did not put it, I sat in the car for 15 minutes at -32 and it still did not warm up. Only on the move it warmed up and then I drove home faster than the engine warmed up. I solved the problem by installing the webast. I put it on with a timer, now from the morning to work and in the evening from work the car heats up the engine and the interior for me, stood a little oil, drove the piston group, warmed it up and crawled slowly. I generally shake over my engine, I do everything to extend its life (although they are as reliable as Kalashnikov)

Installed webasto ... a little late, but installed!
Now I will warm up the car using the phone!

There were the first cold days in Moscow time from + 5 to + 7, it is rather cold after 2 months of 40-degree heat. I tried Webasto - I'm very happy!
I strongly recommend to all diesel operators (and not only)!

for what time interval has the salon already been warmed up to a comfortable location?

It's time to answer your question - in cold weather you need to set 30 minutes.
BUT: when using Webasto it is not recommended to leave the stove fan at high speed - it drains the battery. When webasto warms up for 20 minutes, after starting the engine, the interior heats up quickly enough

start the engine, wait 5-7 minutes at the parking lot, then turn on the drive and hold on the brake)

SUCH warming up of automatic transmission is not recommended - it is harmful. for automatic transmission in frost, it is recommended to go for the first 200-500 meters with a reduced load

came to this variant of the combination of warming up, from the remote control I start the webaska while there is a shower of seagulls breakfast ... the system is already running, and just before the exit, autostart from the remote control signaling, you exit and the car is ready for any races. and akku not raped by the fact that the fan is on full force ...
