Default she hates the cold

Hey guys. Im looking for a block heater that I can use on my car. This car is many firsts for me. I never had a turbo, or a diesel, or a volvo lol. As far as ive been told these motors didnt come factory with a block heater. Correct me if im wrong. The setup im going for will be powered by a solar panel. I dont know what to look for in a block heater though.

Thanks all
Alex

Not sure if they came stock with them or not, but all the D24's I have bought came with them. I don't think solar is the way to go here though. Just not enough power for something like this. Maybe if you had a stationary setup, but I am assuming you are planning on mounting it to the car?

Pretty sure any one that fits a VW freeze plug will work.

Default Plug and play!

I just found one.
#1189855-8 for diesels 1980 and up. (Install in 4th hole from front, R hand side.)

What`s that `*Note` actually saying?
