Yeah I got a 3TC in a wagon, worst I got to worry about is like 35*. Typically it's in a garage though, which helps immensely. If I were in your position I would definitely get one of those cold-start mechanisms, negative degrees are no joke. Do you have a block heater?

Most people on sites with webers say they take the cold start out. They say its easier to flood with it than hitting the gas pedal a few times, or you can only try it once then it floods.
Now that you forgot to take the water out. How many freezing days has gone by? I always wondered if it takes one day or more of freezing cold for the engine to expand and break. It could just be if you dont drive for months and the engine freezes and melts over and over. fatigue?

We luckily didn't have an extreme low temperature jet.
I haven't turn the car over for like 2 months !
But i have expiriance 12a engine block froze before we forgot the antifreeze to. When we turn the engine the fanbelt started whining like an angry pig
. And suddenly the belt started to smoking we where like WTF. The waterpump jam no way we cold turn it by hand. So we let it run for few min and it came lose.
No harm on the engine so far its still running.
Not sure hole long the temp days have to go by before is start frozen
At +4 degrees C water start to freeze brupp and my balls @ +14 C
