Hi,

the first picture looks like DEFA WarmUP engine heater. Do you know the DEFA part number?? I want to get one, but they don't have Nissan A12 engine in catalogue anymore.

Thanks,

Peter

Back in Minnesota folks would light up some charcoal in a trash can lid and slide it under the engine. Worked ok until some manufacturers started using plastic oil pans and garages got burned down when the oil pan melted.

Why not just go down to your local Nissan dealer and buy one? List price $33. It's a universal one.

i have one of those block heaters installed. Are they hard to get now? I got one for going up to the snow where propane would vaporize badly so it seemed like a good idea.

are you kidding? going to my local Nissan dealer is always a pain. Guys that work there don't even know, that some times DATSUN ever existed. --> no way to help me by Nissan dearer. In Slovakia, they are idiots. They don't5 sell anything they have in stock.

Yesterday I received a mail from DEFA Austria telling me 35mm heaters are:

A411106 Dm 35 mm und 600 Watt
A411114 Dm 35 mm und 820 Watt.

today DEFA Norway replied:

Hello,

First off all I can inform you that we don’t have the exact information on your car.
All other Cherry 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, use element 411122, this is 35mm.
But we also have one on 30mm. this has 411117 as partnr.
------------------------

I am confused now. Nissan E type engines (follower of Atype are OHC) and have 30mm plug holes.

Please help... :(

Thanks

A-series engine has three 35 mm welch plugs on the left side of the engine, behind the manifolds.

E10 and F10 Cherrys used A-series engines (A10, A12, A13, A14 and A15). Later N10 (circa 1982) Pulsar/Cherry used E-series.

Absolutely agree, but DEFA does not have that engines in catalogue anymore.
I personally have A12 engine from Cherry N10 model.

What DEFA has in offer is Cherry N12.
car year engine heater
CHERRY 1.0, 1.3, 1.5 81 - 86 E10/13/15 122 ->>>these are OHC engines and have 30mm holes


This is why I am confused with what DEFA replied. E10/13/15 81-86 are E type OHC with 30mm holes,
A engines have 35mm holes.

I guess I go to dealer and measure the heaters by my self. I'll post updates

Tomorrow I go to shop and buy it + post later some photos of installation process

DEFA engine heater part numbers:

35mm plug hole diameter
DA 411117 ?? Watt
DA 411106 600Watt
DA 411114 800Watt
