Hi,

from searches, it seems that MB has been importing their diesels in the past number of years with block heaters installed. Then, the dealer just takes the coupon in the owner's manual (my fathers 96 e300d has the coupon still in it), and puts the cord on.

My question is, does anyone with a 606 engine NOT have a block heater pre-installed?

My second question is, where would I find the block heater, and how hard would it be to install the cord? The dealer claimed 1 hour!

Thanks,

JMH
