Hello and thank you for reading!

I was wondering if there is an engine block drain plug on my 2002 Audi tt 225hp? NOT THE LOWER RADIATOR DRAIN PLUG PETCOCK. I ask because i would like to install a Kats circulating tank heater (or similar style thermo-siphoning heater) . I would like to run a hose off of the coolant drain petcock hole from the lower part of the radiator, to the heater and then to a drain hole on the lower part of the engine block ideally. Does anyone know of a location i can run the hot side too in the lower or middle-ish part of the engine block? I bought a lower radiator hose heater but my thermostat is in the lower radiator hose so that wont work, so i would really like to use a tank heater because you can get like a 1500Watt one that should heat up my car in no time at all. I have also had an oil pan heater....... they are stupid. Mine lasted one winter and then got a gouge in it from a rock and died.

No.

Thank you Mister Bally for your response,

If you can confirm that there is no drain plug, can you think of a smaller coolant hose that enters the block? any pictures would greatly help.

Can anyone suggest a location? I know plenty of you have dug around enough to know where things are routed!
