Sorry; I assumed too much. I assumed that if the car were in Europe, it would be a European model with an appropriate block heater. As you said, the NA-spec block heater will need ~110v, ~5A.

My understanding is that MB has imported all NA diesels with block heaters installed for a number of years. However, the cords are not installed. In colder climates, the dealer will install the cords. In warm climates, the cord is not installed. Many of the cars in my area have no cords, since it seldom drops to freezing here.

Members of this list and others often yearn for various Euro models and Euro equipment. We often complain that we get few choices from MB. How did a NA car end up in Europe? Is it considered exotic there?
