Nearly any modern car will have provision somewhere on the engine for a block heater. It is also likely to be in the right place too. Have you looked for a manufacturer-original part? There is no pump with an electrical block heater. Fuel-fired heaters tend to have a pump (Webasto ones, for example). As you have spotted, these are not cheap. Warm oil and warm battery are more critical for cold-start in diesel engines than coolant temperature. (One week tomorrow I am off for 2 weeks in Rovaniemi doing cold climate development, though my particular interest is in cabin heater and oil pump performance rather than cold start) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
