Happy Saturday morning everyone,
I am in Albuquerque an we're having below freezing nights and with everything going on I never really thought about a block heater. It also fascinates me that there are no glow plugs on these engines. Every diesel I've ever owned had glow plugs.
Anyway, went looking for a block heater today and this looks like one to me. It looks like it's in a coolant line on the drivers side of the engine.
Am I on the right track?
I will test it today with the ol' multi-meter and see what I find.
Thanks
Seb
P.S. for some reason the picture is sideways. If you tilt your head to the left it will be right. Haha
Looks like an emersion heater, Plug it in.
:^
Yup that'd be a heater. My s60 has a super similar heater in block above water pump
Same on my 8-71, but different location. Plug it in in quiet background and you should hear a light sizzling in about 20 to 30 seconds.
I will test it this afternoon.
Thanks for confirmation

Everyone's pictures come out sideways Seb. It is just how we roll here at BCM. I figured out that if you point your phone at something like you normally would, then rotate the phone clockwise 90 degrees and snap the picture. Give it a try. Don't be afraid to send pictures even if that does not work. We have learned to turn our computers sideways. And you got 3 quick answers! Light her up!
Success, I hear sizzlin' :^

There is a Wabasto. So far have not figured out how it works, or if it works.

Phones know which way you took the photo and add a cookie to the info, but a lot of software platforms dont know how to find the cookie so it comes out sideways.
