Hi I have a 2010 e-class coupe 200cgi manual box, Engine not getting to temperature very quickly takes about 10miles if the ambient temperature is 10+.
So question is can anybody recommend good suppliers for a new thermostat and indeed all mercedes parts, mercedes quote £130, The last time I had to change a thermostat on any car must have been over 20yrs ago and cost peanuts. Interesting design as you purchase an elaborate housing containing the thermostat as a unit. Not sure how much fluid you loose when replacing?
Out of interest does anybody know if when they fail is it designed to fail in the open position or was that just fortunate?.
Already bought one from GSF but they supplied the wrong unit, will give them a call and see if they can supply the correct one but somehow not very hopeful.
