X2. that is a blanket statement, full of crap, as most blanket statements are. why no-one has wiki'D that correct, I dont know.
mine had a webasto installed, not a block heater.
and there are enough old post' about what a PAIN it is to remove the plug that it is obvious that not ALL cars had them.
but I bet you can get one from fastlane. And it is a very good idea to make sure that there is no one installed yet.
and also-(flame suit on) since you are in a mild winter climate, there are tons of other options available from mfr's like zerostart, etc. which you can prolly get at the local mcparts store on the corner.
