In this episode of Ketchup’s World we install a block heater into a 2006 Honda Civic 1.8 L manual transmission car.
Also included are simple instructions on refilling the coolant system.
In Canada it gets cold, especially inland. A block heater can prolong the life of your car. That first few minutes of running your car with cold oil can be harmful to your engine over time.
If your block heater is connected to the cooling system, this also means that your cabin will warm up sooner after you start your car.
*Note: I didn’t say one instruction in the video so I will share it here. When you see the coolant rise after the cabin heat has been on and hot air is coming out of the vents for some time, and no air bubbles coming out, this is your cue that your coolant system is bled. You can turn your car off and cap the radiator. It rises because the engine is warming up and heating up the coolant. Liquid expands when it gets hot. You want to stop here and later check your coolant resivior level and make sure it is between the min and max level.
Here is the link to where I found the block heater install instructions:

Thank you for this video Andrew. My son Andrew was sold a POS;, Civic this summer. He paid far too much for it and I will have to go to small claims court to get some money returned to him. ((I needed a space to vent a bit.... Thanks Again.))
Oh no, well i hope it turns out ok for you
much appreciated best vid
Thanks for the video ✌🏼
You’re welcome
Thanks bro
Hey Andrew, thanks for the video and especially the little tricks of the trade.
is there a way to remove the "block heater bolt" without spilling coolant? i dont have a garage, so ill have to try this outside.
thanks!

Hi matt, no there isnt a way. You have to drain it. Drain from the proper location first, the coolant drain plug, then more will come out when u remove the “placeholder” for the heater
@@andrewdegenhardtso is it possible to remove that bolt for the block heater & it will spill out the coolant out right, so after the installation fill it back & bleed out the air bubbles, will that work without draining the whole coolant from the system
@@unnikrishnanraveendrannair5408 i guess so, but the purpose of the drain plug is to get a relatively clean drain. It drains in a way that is easy to catch. If you drain from the other block heater bolt, you may have a mess. I recommend draining from the drain plug first
@@andrewdegenhardtso, if I tried to directly install the block heater plug directly by removing and installing it without draining from the radiator plug, cause any issues, like even after i fill the coolant back and idle for 15 minutes wont remove the air bubbles, I don’t know thats why i am asking
@@unnikrishnanraveendrannair5408 it wouldn’t cause any issues that i can think of besides a complete disaster when the coolant drains out of the engine block. It will be messy and difficult to catch the fluid. Honestly you wont be saving any time by trying to drain from the block heater plug. You’ll just make a mess.
Can that Tephlon tape take the heat of the motor? I didn't use any. The plug didn't have any.
Yes it can
would this work for my 2008 honda civic?
8 generation civic: Model years: 2006-2011;
Yes it will
Thanks a lot brother
Q, is this car 2006 civic if yes Can you please direct me where and number of the blockheater tnx.
Yeah 2006 civic, i just went to Bumper to Bumper and bought it there. Or go to rockauto.com and order it online.
what's the part number on your kit?
I don’t remember but you can just go to any parts store like NAPA or Bumper to Bumper or online at rockauto.com and find the part. You can also go to the dealership but u will pay more.
@@andrewdegenhardt thank you, I ended up just getting from the dealership, an FYI the pt# is 08T44-SNA-302. Thanks so much for posting your DIY video!! Much appreciated, will come in very useful this weekend when installing mine!
@@crazyeyes1533 great i hope it goes well for u
Helpful video. I had no idea where the block heater was located, this is better than I imagined. Still kinda pissed off that mine failed, it's- -35 this weekend and I'm not even gonna try and start it in this.
Can you do 2018 accord or civic
Should be able to
You just need to find where the block heater will go
never fill antifreeze without the car running the water pump help push the air through and out
ontario car suck balls to work on so much rust from all the salts used on the roads the government should subsidize car bills
My father in laws car is from Ontario and the rust is noticeably higher than our Alberta vehicles. I did an oil change one day and the amount of rust on the drain plug was concerning
just to let everyone know antifreeze does not kill your pets anymore they changed the chemical compounds
This is NOT true. I work at a vet clinic and can confirm it still can
