I live up in a colder part of the Canadia and just purchased a 2006 Jetta 2.5 a few months back. I may have made a grievous error.

Up until this week I had had heated underground parking, but now I'm stuck outside for the rest of the winter. The other night I checked the weather and it was supposed to drop to -26C, so I went out to plug in my car. No matter how much I searched around the front of the engine compartment where I would expect to find the plug, I could not. I am very lucky I coxed her into starting the next morning.

My question is this: Am I stupid because I can't find the plug, [where is it?] or am I stupid because I bought a car without a block heater? -_-"

I know the new 2011 Jettas with factory-installed block heaters have a plug built into the front bumper, am I not finding this plug?
