Installation Of Kat's Cartridge Style Block Heater On 2014 Kia Sportage
Updated 01/09/2017 | Published 01/06/2017 >
Question:
Documentation instructs NOT to use the KH11812 block heater with 100 antifreeze concentrations. How much must a 100 concentration be diluted to be suitable for use with this block heater? In regard to potentially installing the KH11812 cartridge-style block heater, I am trying to locate the installation receptacles? in the block of our 2014 KIA Sportage. Jackie C posts a diagram for the 2013 KIA Sportage. but the indicated 2nd RRinch position does not appear as best I can see to have a block heater receptacle in our 2014 transverse engine. Neither am I finding any good engine diagrams that might point the way toward whatever I have to pull off in the way of cowling... and so forth... to discover the miracle receptacle. ehem. Anyway... so, can you point us toward such a diagram as might further indicate whether to look high or low... or what to yank off the body, etc... to at least foresee what we might be getting into, if were going to give this block heater a try? Muchas mercie beacoup in advance. :-

The recommendation is 50% coolant and 50% distilled water for using Kat's Block Heaters like the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style - 120V - 400 Watts, # KH11812.
I have attached the diagram for installation in the 2nd RR position as you stated. It will be on the passenger side rear of your motor and the position second from the far right (passenger) side.
