I am storing the TT in an unheated garage starting november first to may first. I am located in Montreal Canada and the temperature can go down to -30 F. I have read the Porsche suggestion. Mentionning to leave the car on the groung to prevent exposing suspension element to rust and to move it every 3 weeks to prevent flat spot on tires. I am also connecting a battery tender to control the battery charge. I also had the suggestion to park the car on a sheet of plastic to cut ground humidity.But should I start the engine every two weeks and let it run for a while or just turn the starter to get oil on the cylinder walls. If you had the experience of winterizing your turbo please let me know. Thanks for your suggestions, J.P.

I live in New York and I am contemplating by first winter with a 2003 Turbo. Not sure if I'll put on a set of all weather tires and see how well the four wheel drive handles the snow or make it a garage queen for the winter. Either way, thanks for the info. I have the Porsche battery charger as well and just used it on a recent week and a half away from home.

Some people seems to have a lot of fun with this car in the snow especially the european Porsche TT owners that I met but here in Montreal they used too much salt on the street and I prefer to stay away from this corrosive environment....Have a great winter,J.P.
