Engine block heater HELP! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Meeksworth · 01-28-2016, 10:28 PM

I just purchased a used 2013 Yaris Hatchback LE.

I wanted to install an engine block heater and after doing some some reading a found out that new Toyota engines have a molded socket on the engine block specifically for a tube type engine heater.

The only problem is I can find the damn hole!

Even the guy at the Toyota dealership said he'd never heard of that and recommended getting an oil dipstick type heater. It probably doesn't help that I live in North Alabama where engine heaters aren't common.

Has anyone installed one that can direct me where to find the socket to install my heater?
