Hello experts, I plan to get an A6 Avant 3.0 TDI (current model) soon. Unfortunately, the vehicle will be moved to 80% on short distances (about 5 km), but I need a large powerful vehicle for the rest of the journeys and I don’t want to get 2 vehicles. Now my question: does an engine preheating (e.g. by a heater) help to reduce the harmful cold start and especially the bad short distances and the associated consequences? Mei n Workshop master strongly advises me from this purchase. He said that such a large engine would always have to be warmed up at least 10 to 15 km, so that long-term damage would be avoided -> but he did not show me an alternative solution. The vehicle will definitely always be parked in a garage and electricity is also available. Or is my worry even exaggerated or even unfounded with the new engine generations? Thanks already for your answers and Greetings.
