[Vwdiesel] Block heater install--anything to know?

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Hi All,

Discovered last week my block heater is open, cord seems fine. (needle
probes on multimeter, but not quite to engine of it were checked)
Ordered a new block heater for my 88 Jetta Turbo diesel 1.6L putt-putt.
It seems to be located on the bottom back of the block, perhaps in the
center-ish area. (I haven't actually laid eyes on it yet, just tracing the
cord.

I will install it myself if it's a pretty straight forward procedure, though
I've never done one before in my life, on any car.

Anything I should know?  Is it relateively easy ? Caveats? Hints/tips/words
of wisdom/any known chants while installing?

One of these days, I really should "buy a Bentley"........
