Stunning photos, Antti. Was it too cold for Eric? I didn't see him with you. Probably left him home to cook or clean...
Eric was with us but stayed in the car. It wasn't too cold yesterday, -20?C/-4?F, but right now it's -33?C/-27,4?F.
I guess the car stays in carage today, because the filtering temperature of the diesel that they sell here is -32?C.

wow ! Very nice !!
I really miss a warm garage where I can hand wash and detail my car during the winter. It's only -5 C here now (cold for Denmark), but with the temperature going from -10 -> +1 during the day and 200 km's / day, the car looks like a mess
I saw you've looking at the secret menu for the coolant temperature. What's your operating temperature during freezing cold days?

.It was -20?C yesterday and the coolant temps went up to 87?C, but mostly it was between 84-86?C. I think it's okay for that weather and driving around 100kmh.

That's exactly what I was checking .

Sounds like a fine operating temperature.
Btw: I'll be using your DIY guide soon for the swirl flaps.
