But depending on the location he can also make sense there. For example, in extremely cold regions such as in Siberia.
Why a diesel necessary?
Gasoline engines usually do not require a winter orifice, because the combustion temperature of the gasoline is higher than the combustion temperature of the diesel. And this gasoline engine almost always has the higher speed. The gasoline engine thus generates more engine heat. Of course, the heat also reaches the cooling water. In a diesel, the heating power can sometimes be significantly worse than a petrol engine. Therefore, diesel vehicles have almost always installed an electric auxiliary heater which should be supportive. But such an additional heater quickly reaches its limits due to its design. So worth the grille cover for your diesel? The winter trim is particularly useful for short-distance drivers, so that the heating can provide more quickly for heat.

In winter, a grille cover for diesel drivers is interesting. In the trade, the grill panels are available for certain vehicle models. The matching covers for the grille, for example, be made of plastic. Plastic has the advantage of being more robust than other materials used on the grille cover. In Internet forums but also read that, for example, cardboard is used to cover. However, this is not winterized or weatherproof and quickly gets wet and then decays. The same applies to a newspaper. The more durable grille cover is therefore a plastic variant.

The articles can be used for a warmer engine (faster operating temperature, more constant operating temperature, less engine wear) and ensure optimum heating performance in the car. If you drive a lot of short distances with your diesel, then such a cover is advisable. Cardboard is the sole material for a grille cover. Cardboard becomes moist and can only be used for a short time. Although suitable for emergencies, but not for constant use. Plastic, on the other hand, is robust and can be used for a long time.
