• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford engine block heater element, the electric immersion heater that threads into a coolant passage in the engine block and warms the coolant when the vehicle is plugged into household power, easing cold-weather starting and reducing engine wear during winter warm-up. Cataloged by Ford as the engine heating unit, it fits 2010 through 2020 Ford Transit Connect vans, installing into the block's heater port so its heating element sits directly in the coolant. When the element fails, plugging in produces no warming effect: the engine cranks slowly and starts hard on frigid mornings, cabin heat is slow to arrive, and cold-start fuel enrichment and wear increase. An element can fail open electrically or, if it has been run dry or is corroded, stop transferring heat to the coolant. Replacing it restores reliable pre-heating so the engine turns over easily and reaches operating temperature sooner in cold climates. This genuine Ford heating unit matches the original thread, seal, and wattage so it seals in the block port without leaks and draws the correct current on the cord set. Install it only in a full, properly mixed cooling system and never energize the element in a dry or low-coolant block, since running it without coolant will burn it out. After installation, confirm there are no coolant leaks at the heater port and that the cord and connector are routed away from moving and hot components. Ordering by the Ford part number ensures the correct block heater element for the Transit Connect application.
