Running cold, won't reach optimal temp.

Neighbor checked that and the reading was correct Could be the coolant temp sensor then as that’s where climatronic gets the reading from.

Re: Death by puddle.`

Water got between the auxiliary belt and pulleys, momentary loss of drive leading to no charge for battery no power steering assistance and has maybe set a fault code for the alternator.
Lower splash guard has a purpose.
Glad your okay.

Re: Starter motor sluggish.

Glow plugs won’t operate at those temps so don’t bother with them, only 2 degrees or less.
X 2 on remove clean and grease.
