4F this morning, my '85 190D fired off after the glow light went out no problem.
At idle while I cleared the driveway the car wouldn't get over 40C indicated. Once I started driving temp climbed to normal pretty quickly, not as fast as I'd like though, she's due for a coolant flush and a new thermostat. A new FRENCH thermostat (which is what World-Pac delivers. The Chinese made ones you get at FLAPS are NOT as good.


The block heater draws 400w or just a bit less, will work fine off my Coleman 400w inverter.
