Take a close look at your engine to determine if you already have one! I was thumbing through my owner's manual a couple of weeks ago, and to my surprise it says that the engine is equipped with a block heater. It goes on to say that if I wanted to use it, I would have to go to my favourite dealer and have the power cord installed free of charge; of course, this was valid for 6 months after original delivery! If you have the heater already, the rest is easy!

Before you do this, take a close look at your glow plugs. These cars usually start fairly easily; after replacing all my GPs last summer, I had no trouble starting even with ambient temps around -5C
