Have you tried looking in a local car parts store for a block heater that fits in a freeze plug hole? That might be the way to go. Should cost less that the Mercedes version and if there are no threads in the hole when you take the plug out no big deal. If there are threads still no big deal.

Kinda suck to chisel that thing out of there only to find you couldn't screw in a block heater. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
