For those in the U.S., Skoda is part of the world's third largest car maker which includes VW, Audi and Porsche. If you click on COcyclist and look at my photos on this site you will see the left "small grill" (the horn is behind this one) blocked off with a waterproof plug for a block heater in it. I do use a little foam in the intercooler grill in subzero (Farenheit) temperatures until the engine warms up.
