Block Heater Cord
 
I had a really hard time searching for this on here, so I figured I would pass on the info. For those of us with the factory installed block heater, this is the exact cord for it. It fits in and threads on to the factory block heater as MB intended. The only difference between this one and the dealer cord is there is no insulation, but I don't think it's necessary. It's easy enough to install and remove that I will probably just remove it when it warms up and reinstall the cap.

For the record, this is the same cord used on Ford/Dodge trucks as well as many tractors and semi trucks.

Under $15.00 shipped if you have Prime.

I think you need to specify a little more.

This may not fit on a 123 and it looks different from the one on my 126

Yes, my local Napa had it for $31 if you don't want to wait for shipping. And, of course, a visual verification before you order the cord would probably be a good idea.

There are two types of cord. From what I have seen. the later cars have the screw on type, but on earlier cars the engine end just pushes in. Definitely check before ordering. After my engine was swapped, the screw on cord would no longer fit. Never got around to buying the push on type. Use magnetic sump heater when need be. If I forget it is on, it automatically removes itself as I back out :)

Merry Christmas!:mad:
Sorry, I did not mean to offend, I had posted a wtb for the square end earlier in the previous week. I did a Google Search and hit the Mother Load of where to get the Cords, saw your post and thought I would share what I had found. Thanks for letting us know about the availability of the Cord you found at a low price. Hoping you and the rest of the country has a Great 2014.
