The pic doesn't show it, but the holes for the cog bolt are oval.Not all AAZs are like this, but yours definitely is. That's a very interesting block heater.

till the toggle breaks in the middle and it falls out the block when in a construction zone... yes ive seen it...
just keep the spare in glove box... not too hard to install... hammer/socket... but i had one in my caddy let go... right after construction zone... id have been touchin my toes wishing for a kiss 5 min sooner... had prestone in it... was installed w/grease on o-ring.. but looked like the o-ring had cristilized antifreeze that was odd corrosion effect and pushed it out the block... kinda like how a plastic neck deform on the head and breaks... but was under 2 year old... was still hanging in the hole.. so you could see how the t bolt bent/cracked... but drains coolent fast... ill only use factory installed ones now...
how most of us do... hell theman just did as one fell out...

There's no room to swing a hammer. What do you have to remove to hammer in a freeze plug when on side of the road?I did it in the grass, turbo, drain line, engine mount, and all in the way, so I don't know what you have to remove, but I do know what I didn't have to remove. I just had the freeze plug, hammer, and socket and tapped it in. MK2 jetta if that matters to you. It isn't as easy as walking and chewing gum but it is very possible to swing the hammer in there. I am not a small guy either.
My preferred method:Precisely because I have direct access.
