Anyone changed a Thermostat on a W204 CDI

[Vx-Man-G]

Just wanted to know if anyone has changed the thermostat on the W204 C200 CDI at all?
Where is it located and how hard is it to change? Any pointers please?
Thanks.

I have!

Its not too hard.

Lift front of car, drain header tank, remove engine cover and belt cover, remove hoses, remove stat, reverse.

We tend to vac fill them as bleeding the 651 can be a pain, but otherwise keep an eye on the level over the next heat cycles
