Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I installed a block heater one time for a customer on a 05 Boxster, had to have a custom bung welded to the thermostat housing, this looks like a much easier installation.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys Anyone seen this before? Could this help out with the bore scoring in really cold weather you can get??? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F122859646150

POST 2Original post

Heating the engine case with warm water would help keep the Piston rings from getting too tight, but I you would need to circulate the water and I wonder how effective that would be with a closed thermostat and non-spinning water pump.

POST 3Original post

Looks like it would work fine to me. Seems to hook up to coolant pipe to heater and would circulated through engine and heater core, not quite hot enough to open thermostat (75c) but real close to fully warmed up. I installed a block heater one time for a customer on a 05 Boxster, had to have a custom bung welded to the thermostat housing, this looks like a much easier installation. Hope you're in the UK though, that 220v connector won't work in US. A 110v 3 prong grounded plug would be much handier in the US.

POST 4Original post

Hi i found e engine heater for 996, the bad thing is they will work on 220V but they work realy good and DEFA make this for Porsche 996 ( Model 411575) I`m now back in Europe and my 2002 996 smoke only out of bank 2 and it smells like gasoline not like burned oil and only when it is realy cold outside for a minute or so..... here the link for the engine heater.... http://old.defa.com/en/automotive/wa...engine_heater/
