Does anyone know if it's possible to install a block heater on a 2G Tsi? if so, what's involved?

Thanks!


I want an RS4.

Yes. You can put them on any car.

It gets clamped between the lower rad hose and the thermostat housing, and has an electrical cord for plugging into an outlet.

I'm pretty sure that would be for a factory installed block heater.

I could be wrong though.. It's happened before... shuffle

You can install a frost plug style, but a lower rad hose style is much easier.
