Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / October 2004320 cdi preheater
hi I have a 2000 320 cdi which has the deisel preheater that comes on when it is really cold, I want to know where the sensor/switch is so that I can put a remote on the unit and have the car warm for when I get in. I know a timer unit was an option but I dont have that luxury > hi I have a 2000 320 cdi which has the deisel preheater that comes on > when it is really cold, I want to know where the sensor/switch is so > that I can put a remote on the unit and have the car warm for when I > get in. I know a timer unit was an option but I dont have that luxury how long does it takes to prewarm your diesel? at my c class it: something between 1 or 3 seconds. my really could is something at 10 degrees below zero (celsius). > hi I have a 2000 320 cdi which has the deisel preheater that comes on > when it is really cold, I want to know where the sensor/switch is so > that I can put a remote on the unit and have the car warm for when I > get in.

Tiger if he sees this may be able to tell you whats involved to install it. you may have one in there already all 3 of my older<2> 300sd & <1> 240d <82 84> had them. look on the pass side under the hood up front for a plug. good luck the case, minus a few cans! |
