Get a lower radiator hose heater. Much easier to install than an OE block heater and pretty effective. I've purchased mine on ebay for about $15. By memory the size is 1 1/2. A search on here would confirm the size.

the install isnt a big deal i already got the threaded plug out of the block no problem. i just dont think the hose heater will be as efficient vs a block heater.

You should be able to get a block heater at the dealer.

Oh it is available in 220V mode but it costs a fortune:-

I have seen a kit for it elsewhere - try contacting this forum's sponsors may be they can help.

Is this the correct one? Or do you need to transfer that fitting from your old one?

No problem.

I was just thinking that his new heater might have been the "wrong size" because he didn't account for the fitting.

It looks like it comes with the heater, is there one installed on the old heater?
