Hey, thank you guys for your kind words and your suggestions!

I'll have to think this one though, but there is a lot of work to be done before I can paint them.

Well, I have to make the boost pipes first, for instance

Whoa! Wait a sec. What kind of block heater is that? DEFA?

[TurboJ]

You're right, a DEFA it is.

When rebuilding the engine, we decided to leave it there (most cars sold new in Finland have block heaters)
because you never know you might be needing it at some point.
I might even drive this thing in the winter after a first couple of years protection from road salt and snow.

Luckily it doesn't take much space anyway, so I'll let it stay for now.

May I inquire as to what a DEFA block heater is, as well as why it is so interesting?

Finally, I found the right button for this thread.

DEFA is the brand of block heater I have on my VW Transporter Syncro.

They are just the same as any other brand but its rated to use 220V instead of 110V.

Maybe Janne can explain why all their electrical over there is 220V.

Any ways, I'm looking for a cord for my truck.

Sending PM.

LOL !

That's a big button. I feel like I should have a proportionally sized cursor to hit it

As for the 220V, I really wouldn't know. That's a European thing, most countries here have that system.

[RabbitJockey]

220 because in Europe, they want u to be absolutely certain that a wire is hot when you touch it.

Here in the UK we run 240 or 400v ( single or 3 phase) we must like it sizzling then!!

You know that if you run a 220 heater on 110 it will barely get warm?

Hi voltage is better. Lower loss and the wire gauge can be smaller to carry the same current.
