Default Re: 40 engine temperature drop by 20 degrees

Years ago I was into VWs. If the heat riser was plugged (a common problem) they would ice up even on a warm day. Along with the pressure drop from air going through the venture there is a temperature drop. And with a lot of intake manifold surface area and humid air ice forms. This is also an issue with aircraft engines.
