Block Heater Group Buy

FireEngineer · 01-10-2007, 10:52 AM

Danny is getting a Block Heater Group Buy going from Jesse Wright at Metro Toyota. If you would like to get one but are worried about installation, I will install it for free. Install on 04-05 about 30 minutes, 06-07 about 15 minutes longer (really it's the cord routing that takes longer). I've done 12 already so I'm looking to add some more notches to by toolbox. Can be done in your garage or driveway (or parking lot). Let me know.

Wayne,

I'm interested, but is this one of those mods that voids the warrenty?--Scott

Will you come to the East Coast to install it?

No, unless your dealer was trying to be a complete knob. If you are not familiar with this, it's basically a cylindrical heating element that plugs into a hole in the engine block. A cord plugs into it and the AC plug comes out through your grill or whereever you'd want to route it. BTW, the one I got from Metro was a Toyota of Canada part.

I'm sure we could figure it out, Jim. But it would be easier if Wayne came and installed them for us.

Wayne did mine and my dads... Finding that hole is a PITA. I routed the cord before hand and had it in... the wrong hole, thankfully Wayne got it right.

If you were in the Raleigh/Durham area, I'd help you out.

MegansPrius-As Beryl Octet stated it will not void your warranty. It is a Toyota part, standard in some Canadian Prius.

JimboK and Skwyre7-Don't tempt me, some friends live in Springfield, VA and I have some long weekends coming up. But I am known for traveling long distances for less!

Tempting away ...

Wayne,

I am already on Danny's post as wanting one.

I really appreciate your offer - I am in Wisconsin, so I'm sure we can work something out (the sooner the better - it's COLD here today).

Thanks.
