C 63 fully loaded
Engine Block Heater

Hi everybody!

Does anyone know, if itīs possible to have an engine block heater installed on the C 63? Right now here in Sweden itīs -27 degr C (-17 degr F) which would make the block heater come in handy... Just in the process of buying this fantastic car.

Thanks in advance.

I don't see much room in the engine compartment to even do something like that. The engine block is too big so I don't know how long it will take to heat up. Your best bet would be finding a good oil made for low temps and perhaps some sort of car cover to keep the temps down. my .2c

You do realize a block heater is basically a replacement for a certain drain plug in the car's crank case to keep the oil warm and takes up no extra room right?

^^Youker, I learned something new, seriously. I had the mental picture of something wraping the block, kind of what you get for the tires, or for the batteries. You always learn something new. Thanks for your post!
