How can someone tell if their 2006 TL is equipped with a block heater? I looked behind the bumper and couldn't find the plug in.

 

lift the car up and look on the actual block of the engine. There is a metal screw/plug on there. You unscrew that where a whole bunch of coolant is gonna drip out. Then you screw in the block heater and refill coolant. I had this done on my 2g TL and I am sure that it's the same for 3G. I don't drive my 3g in the winter that much so I had no need for that.

 

Ok i'll take a look later and see if it's there or not.

Since this car was originally purchased in Calgary (Canada), should it not have been factory equipped with a block heater?
