Where to find block heater cord??
The SEARCH didn't give a clear answer to my problem.Today, I was quoted a price of $70 for a heater cord at a local Benz dealer, for my '87 300SDL.I think I read on this site that the $19 or$15 cords from Fastlane and other places are "junk".But $70 for a simple cord???Has anyone had good results with something reasonably priced and where can I get one? Thanks for any help!

Get one from Fastlane, they are going to be the proper cord for your block heater, it's going to be the oem part, and won't be junk...

Installation?
Nice to see the price is so low. I've been planning to get a block heater cord for my 603 too. I understand it just plugs in to the block, but where exactly is the plug? Is there an "official" or preferred way to route it out to the grill (avoiding the exhaust manifold, belts, etc.)?

You should find it on the right side (passenger's) from underneath with the sound panels off. If like my '87 it will have a cap on it (forgot the color). From the top, it is hardly seen. As to the route for the cable, you'll see your choices from the underside. Not hard to do with the car in the air and some light. Don't forget to have some wire ties handy . . .

Thanks Steve! Sounds really straightforward, next time I have the car up on stands I'll take a look.
 It'd be nice to be able to plug her in for the few really cold days we have here in Oregon.
