Curt--
You probably have a block heater--just not the cord. Check on the
passenger side of the engine--about where the block heater is on a
240D. There may be a plastic cap on the block heater--you just need to
buy the cord from Rusty. I had to do that on two 190Ds.

Okay I've been going through Rusty's site and making a list, he had the
switch bits I needed for the seats (YAY!) and a bunch of other stuff.
The thing I didn't see and haven't seen anywhere yet is a block
heater. The block heater on my 240D has been a savior many times, at
-20F the 240D doesn't have a chance. So I'm keen to get a heater for
the 190D. I did notice this morning at 20F that the 190D started easier
than the 240D, I barely turned the key and it was running, not that the
240D started hard but the 190D just seemed easier.
So do I not need a block heater on this car? Its gotten to -20F every
winter since I've had a diesel MB so I would bet it'll do it again this
year.
