Tony ;
With a 20:1 compression ratio I'd not ever try this on a Mercedes diesel , not even once because the resulting explosion has the potential to crack a piston and that will lead directly to catastrophic engine failure in short order .
Aren't you still down South where the glow plugs should get you going ? .
If not , try cycling them twice , that worked fine for me .

Curious, my old chev with a 6.2L diesel warned against using ether (starting fluid) because the glow plugs may cause the ether to light up and damage the engine.
Any one have any experience or theories about using it with our Mercedes 5 cyl engines?
I know I know here in Mazatlan the block heater shines every day, but will soon enough be back in the land of below freezing.
