Block Heater
So I woke up today to -37c (-34.6 F) and starting the car was painless but the sound she made worried me a bit, it was idling at about 1100 but making a real bad noise like its straining.
I've been reading that the Canadian versions of the car come with a block heater, I even see mention of it in the manual, but absolutely no information where it actually is under the hood.
Anybody use the block heater and can point me which nook or cranny its hidden in under the hood?

So I looked inside the compartment that has the tow hook attachment. There was nothing else in there, especially no wound up cables? Any clues? Can you guys actually verify you have this yourself?
It's a Canadian model bought from the dealer..

ok, I'm guessing you guys have never used it before, or just playing around with me?
I found it today after calling a dealership, them telling me its near the battery, then near the passenger side light.
After calling a second one, he was able to tell me exactly where it is. Right behind the engine intake filter, along the tube leading back to the engine, on the Driver's Side.

As I mentioned in #2 - Mine was here. I bought it, new from dealership, in 2007.
If its not there, or tucked under the hood behind a headlight then give the dealer a call.
Pg 5-57 of the 2011 Owners Manual suggests that all Canadian models have an Engine Block Heater. Unfortunately that manual doesn't indicate where it is on various model G's.

You're driving the early model G37. Well at least there are both models mentioned here now.
Either way, this will be a good reference for people to use in the future.
