Thumbs up WK 2008 Diesel Block Heater (SOLVED)
Can someone tell me where to find the plug for the WK 2008 Diesel Block Heater

Thank you

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT... AFTER TAKING NOTE OF EVERYONES COMMENTS..

PLUG IN CABLE WAS COILED, SORT OF HIDDEN BECAUSE IT IS COVERED IN THE SAME "WRINKLED PLASTIC COVER" THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS...(IT LOOKS LIKE PART OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRING SYSTEM )

DOWN BESIDE THE AIR CLEANER BOX. YA!

THANK YOU AGAIN ALL FOR YOUR INPUT.. I HOPE THIS NOW HELPS OTHERS

First of all, Welcome...

But you are actually trying to find the plug for the wall outlet? Are you sure your WK came with a block heater?

Mercedes Benz 3.0 crd v6?
You mean the glow plugs?
They are on the side of the heads over the exhaust.

Thank you for your reply fantic238 ...

I am beginning to wonder what I mean ...

I do mean the block heater to warm the diesel block up in the minus temps ... you plug this into a power outlet... my 99 (non-diesel) has one.

That sounds like a nice engine with loads of torque.http://www.wkjeeps.com/wk_engines.htm

I can't find anything listed on that site regarding where your heater cord would be if you have it. Sorry.
And Welcome to CF.

Well i think it may be an optional for Canada and very cold places, usually the modern common rail diesels start very well with low temp. too.

Now the experiment is to let it sit out over night in some frigid temperatures and see how it starts with the block heater unplugged...

Im sure it will do just fine though...lol
