Question:

Hello I just puchsed a KH11813 block heater for my 2013 sienna LE 3.5 V6. Couldnot find the hole to the cartridge and the product didnot come with a guide for installation. Searching on youtube for the installation of Sienna and found nothing. Could you please send me an instruction of installation so I can put it in? Both pictures and video will do. Thank you.

The 3.5L V6 engine installed in your 2013 Toyota Sienna was used in several different modules. For example, the 2016 Toyota Tacoma has the same 3.5L engine as your 2016 Toyota Sienna. The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11813 is installed on the engine block therefore the location in which the block heater is installed will be the same across all 3.5L engines from that generation. We do not have a specific install video of this heater installed on your vehicle but as you can see in the attached video of a 2016 Toyota Tacoma the engine block heater will need to be installed in the freeze plug located on the driver's side of the engine closest to the firewall.

I have also attached a photo of this location for you.
