I need to have the dealer install a block heater on my LX. The local dealer here in Cleveland is giving me grief telling me that such a thing does not exist. I travel far north in the winter and I have to have a block heater. Every other Land cruiser and 4Runner I have owned has had one. When I looked online I found a heater with part number PU140-00905, which I believe is a Lexus or Toyota OEM part for that engine. Can anyone like Beno confirm that part number and that it is OEM Toyota or Lexus ? I really appreciate it.
 
Does anyone have a PDF of the installation guide for an LX or LC? I have only found one for the RX350.

Dealer here in Cleveland has been super confused about my request and flat out says that the part number is not a Toyota or Lexus part number. I called my old dealership back in Alaska and they said those are indeed Toyota and Lexus part numbers. I really wish I would have had time to get the work done in Anchorage. If I can get the installation guide specific to the 200 I will order the parts and do it myself.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Beno, if I recall correctly, there was something weird with ordering these... Canada only maybe? Phillips Temro manufactures these for Toyota/Lexus. Here is the list for Toyota.

These units can also be purchased under the Temro Zerostart Brand through the aftermarket. Part # 3100129

Stonepa, I'll try to dig up the PDF for you. It's really easy to install.
 
Beno - this Is for a Lexus LX570. My local Lexus dealer says he can't help me because he can't find a 'real' Lexus part number or installation guide. Anything would be helpful.
 
Spoke with my dealer here in Cleveland and he agreed to do the installation if I can get the right part and a PDF of the LX 570 installation guide for the part. Wish me luck on finding the information given the fact that I have a trip back planned in 6 weeks and it's already starting to snow back home.
 
FYI - if anyone is reading this thread for a heater DO NOT order the Toyota part number listed above. That part has a manufacturing defect through the 2018 MY and has caused fires when used. I got a recall notice from Toyota Canada and Kendall Toyota in Anchorage. The rumor is that the new part number is PK 5A408J05Z. Working to verify.

The 400 watt Toyota part for sure. Not sure if it is supplied by Temro.
