What It Is
A 1000 watt engine block heater kit that circulates coolant through the engine before you start the car, giving you a warm engine and cabin heat right away instead of waiting for the TDI to warm up on its own. This kit is custom fit for 2012-2014 Passat with the DSG automatic transmission.
Why It's Worth Installing
Why a Tank Heater Instead of Other Options
Oil pan heaters only warm the oil, not the coolant, and carry some fire risk. TDI engines also don't have accessible frost plugs, so a frost plug heater isn't an option either. A properly installed tank heater is the practical solution, custom-fit per model.
Installation
About 1 to 2 hours on average. The heater itself is compact, roughly the size of two 12oz soft drink cans.

Why not just use an oil pan heater?
