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.

So, the real question is whether or not your cap was pressed
into a threaded hole or not.  Kinda suck to chisel that thing
out of there only to find you couldn't screw in a block heater.
