Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style - 120V - 400 Watts
Bon achat, j'ai fait l'installation moi même sur un corolla 2016, j'ai nettoyer le trou et j'ai ajouter de la pâte Heat sink compound et j'ai placer le Kat's Heater avec le câble électrique qui était juste assez long pour sortir de la grille. Je l'ai essayer pendant 35 minutes à -17C et il a donner de bon résultat. Cet hivers je vais travailler plus au nord ou il y aura des -40 C et je pourrai vraiment faire un bon test pour voir si il est vraiment efficace. je ferai un autre commentaire pour le verdict.
DO NOT BUY for an early 2nd generation Tacoma (~2005-2011). Fitment and product quality are horrific. As other reviewers have mentioned for these specific vehicles, you have to grind down a side of the metal, removing approx 3/100s of an inch. Annoying, but not a huge deal. After clearancing, the heater cartridge fits right into the designated hole in the block. The bigger issue is that the electrical plug slips right out of the end of the cartridge if you so much as blow on it. The clip designed to hold it all together and secure it into the truck is worthless- it is prone to popping right off of the orange section where it attaches and/or slipping off of its "notch" on the truck. All the bending/adjusting in the world could not make it work. Significant potential fire hazard if the orange plug slips off the cartridge and you plug it into 120V power without realizing this. Extremely disappointed.

The product wasn't a proper fit at all for the vehicle. I had to modify it by cutting the thickness on the plug end with a hacksaw, to go past the engine case edge. Created a flat spot. Otherwise it wouldn't insert properly into the cavity in the engine. It would have to be all one diameter if designed properly. Not sized or designed well. Now that it's installed it seems to work ok.
2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 install. Have to remove air intake, very tight to get it in just enough space. Had to trim a little bit to make it fit but nothing ever fits perfect. Picture say it all.
