Re: [MBZ] Looking for 220V Om617 block heater
Normal = pressed cap This engine is for the South African market so I guess they decided a block heater is not required even though it can get to -12 deg here in winter So, the real question is whether or not your cap was pressed into a threaded hole or not.

-10C? Thats 12F which is cool but not particularly cold. My '83 240D used to start pretty good down to 0F at which point it'd begin to get ornery. No idea how well it'd start cold now that the glow plug light doesn't come on.

Re: [MBZ] Looking for 220V Om617 block heater
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.

The ones that have no block heater from the factory have a large threaded plug (with a 19 mm hex hole in the center) placed where the block heater goes. Take it out with an allen wrench and extension and put the block heater in. I don't recall exactly what the picture you posted earlier of a block heater looks like, but I think it was of the wrong thing. Attached is a picture of the block heater I installed in our OM617. It's a rather difficult job with the engine in the car (I did it on a '72 220D/8, OM615). I did this one before I installed the engine in our W123, changing it from a 240D to a 300D.

He can get 2 for $100, still a lot cheaper than the local thieves (seller and tax man) and wire them up in series, and use one to heat the car interior, put it in a can of antifreeze, get that toasty warm. You guys need some engineers to help you out. Or, is that 220V there on 2 110V legs or is one leg 220V? If two legs, then make a plug with one leg at 110V. Or does it not work that way? I know in my electrical box I have two legs, each puts out 110V to neutral, and if I wire leg-leg I get 220V to run stove, drier, compressor, etc. --R Gary Hurst wrote: so why you telling this guy you have them then?

Re: [MBZ] Looking for 220V Om617 block heater
Ah, but the block heater is not just so that the vehicle will start. It helps the engine warm up faster and therefore produce heat sooner. It also helps the engine on cold start so that it should last longer. Use Mobile 1 and a block heater in winter, and your trusty MB will indeed last foreever.

Re: [MBZ] Looking for 220V Om617 block heater
Now that you mention it - my first MB, a '70 220D, had a heater in the heater hose - so you turned cabin heat on full, opened both the floor and defroster vents, plugged it in at night. The windshield would be mostly clear when all others in the neighborhood were frosted over. The factory block heaters in the subsequent MBs never cleared the windshield quite as well.

Don't know why I don't see a heater loop sticking out of it. The threads are way bigger than 14mm. I may have guessed wrong on the size of the internal hex on the plug, it could be 14mm instead of the 19mm-3/4 that I thought.

There are 2-3 of these plugs in the 220D-type motors. -- 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

Or, is that 220V there on 2 110V legs or is one leg 220V? The US has 220V center-tapped, but I don't think anybody else does. -- 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
Re: [MBZ] Looking for 220V Om617 block heater
winter here in Capetown. The agents want $500 ! anyone know who sells aftermarket ones? BTW where does it mount on the block ? Just use a transformer. It's only 400W, those aren't all that expensive. Use the US cord so you can't make a mistake, plug it into the conversion transformer. -- 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
