Hi guys,
I intend to replace the thermostat on my 2006 W203 C200 CDI (OM646) this weekend.
The coolant currently in the system is G13 (see attached img). It was used after replacing the water pump a year and a half ago by a mechanic very familiar with these cars (used to work in a MB...
So I'm sure this is not a new topic. Been wondering why fuel economy was poor, and performance erratic, and suddenly twigged as I noticed that the water temp gauge was usually indicating around 60 max, when I guess it should be showing 90 degrees.
So just a couple of questions, really for...
Well, I fitted the new ignition leads to my 1994 R129 SL500 today. It now has new engine wiring harness, distributor caps & rotors, ignition leads, and plugs. The regular misfire is gone - Hurrah!
HOWEVER... It still runs roughly, and misses, splutters and holds back under throttle - quite...
I replaced the thermostat on my w208 CLK320 the other day, simple job and all was well, heater nice and toasty.
I was feeling a little smug and pleased with my handiwork, basking in the warm air wafting from my vents.
Today I had to drive to Heathrow, mid afternoon, plenty of time, so...
2002 W638 2.2 108CDI Vito.
I've just bought this van with suspected head gasket failure. Pressure tested and leak (gas) tested the system and both tests indicate HG OK.
Drove it for the first time this weekend, about 15 miles in total, up some steep hills, along a national speed limit...
Hi. I'm picking up a new thermostat housing tomorrow for my 2010 c250cdi,was wondering how easy/difficult a job it is to do. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Cheers Zak
Changed thermostat and sensor as I broke sensor,now the temp gauge does not work and rad warning light is on even though it on the full line,disconnected battery for 3 hours as told this might reset it did not any idea,s please.ml 270 cdi 2001
Hi guy's,
Thought I would pass on some info to help someone else in the future.
As seems to be common place on ML270's my thermostat was not working correctly and was either fully or more likely slightly stuck open as my engine was constantly running cool around 60 degC.
Having done a lot...
Espensive Thermostat changed, no avail? Newish thermostat and temperature again 60 deg?
Here are pictures from Finnish forum (thanks Sergey!) where they put thermostat of the some Escort LX/Renault R8/R10? inside the upper water hose (location of stat showed, use some soap to install stat...
C180 SE coupe. Just after a 30 mile run and the engine temp was showing a constant 40 degrees. Is this a thermostat issue ? And will this have an effect on the heating and air con in the car as this is performing poorly.
Thanks
I was going to take a look at swapping out my thermostat because I can do 25 miles and the heater never gets hot and the display never goes above 40.
Has anyone seen a fault like this?
Is it normal for CLK 2006 200K to be so slow to get hot?
When I change it, is there anything to look out...
To anybody buying a genuine thermostat as I have in the last few days check it thoroughly as after putting mine all back together when I went to screw the bracket to the thermostat housing that holds the fuel pipe in place, I realised that the hole was there but there was no thread there I've...
does anyone have any idea how long it would take a garage to replace a thermostat on a ML270?
ideally i would give it a go myself but not something i would think is feasible to tackle at the side of the road so i want to get an idea of what a garage will charge if i source the parts.
As...
from looking at posts here and elsewhere i know this has come up many many times - my temp gauge sits just above 60 at all times but the economy is no worse than i would expect for a big heavy 4x4 and the heater comes on pretty quickly - certainly within a time i would say is normal
Based on...
Changed thermostat today. Car for the first time in winter reaches 90 in five minutes!! Mpg up to the 50s, before 40s. Old stat looked as new inside but was stuck for good as verified by mechanic pouring a bucket of water that run straight thru. Anyway I would suggest if you even suspect the...
