thermostat

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...

Hi Can anyone tell me the temperature that this should be at? Thanks Jon

Hi My SLK32 is slow to warm up, can anybody tell me where the thermostat is it located as I wanted to change it thanks

The thermostat on my CLK 270 is knackered, (engine temperature only reached 50 on a 30 mile run). Am I better off getting a replacement from MB, or are the parts supplied by euro car parts (or similar) just as reliable? Does anyone have a How To PDF? From reading other threads it sounds a...

OK, maybe i should have got one from a dealer. However, I got a pattern part from ECP.:doh: Owing to the excellent descriptions of other members of this forum, the nuts-and-bolts of the task was easy. Siphoned the header tank, so almost no spillage. Have a chain wrench, so the oil filter was...

Changed my thermostat in the 270 CDI last weekend and did the gearbox reset trick today (the ignition on but not running thing) and noticed it uses slightly more fuel ( a couple of mpg) ......but.....i noticed today when the car was warm (at least half way/80 degrees) it was like having an...

Dear all, I need to replace the thermostat of my C220CDI SportCoupé,type W203, year 2202. Would somedbody post the procedure and pictures if available? In advance many thanks And HAPPY NEW YEAR

I have noticed on a 9 mile trip today, when I got home stat needle was at 60. I would have thought it would be at 90 as it was a good stop start drive. Outdoor temp about 6 degrees. Would you suspect a problem? How much would it cost to replace a thermostat using a genuine part? Would a...

Hi can any member tell me how to change the Thermostat inc housing on my 2002 W210 e320cdi Avantgarde Estate please. Is this an easy job or should I get an Indie to do this. Valued replies appreciated BAZZER1

Hi all thanks for looking. Would anyone be able to give me the name of a supplier for a stat and housing for my vito or anyone thats best to purchase merc parts from. I don't really want to fit a cheap one unless someone as tried and tested and give it the all clear, especially when it's...

My W204 C200 CDi has a normal running temperature of around 50 on the gauge but when in prolonged stop/start traffic (30 mins or more) it climbs to around 90-100. When normal driving resumes it goes back to the 50 mark. Is this too low? And if so does it suggest a thermostat issue or something...

Just drained my rad on my 1999 108D Vito , went to replace my theromostat has my heater does not get too hot and my temp gauge does not move much. On taking the thermostat off it seems like its built into thsing. On all the sites i go on for car parts i put my car reg in and it comes up with...

Stumped Anybody got a photo where the thermostat is located ? And when I drain the rad coolant, which is the best pipe to disconnect ? And .... Last one, when refilling is there a bleed screw / nipple?? Cheers !

Just a quick recommendation that anyone who has a low engine temperature reading changes the thermostat unit ASAP. I'd been holding off on this for 6 months over the winter thinking its a difficult job. In fact by removing the thermostat side support (by the serpentine drive belt) it only took...

Hi guys Recently bought a 2003 ml270 cdi. I noticed the fuel consumption to be quite bad approximately 20/21 mpg (all inner London driving, short journeys) and also the engine temp usually around 60 to 70 degrees. Only goes above 80 in slow moving traffic but drops again on the move. Having...

Hi There I have been doing some research into replacing just the thermostat on the s210 320 cdi (2000 Reg) - has anyone found just the thermostat that fits into the housing? It seems insane to replace the whole lot when just a £10 part will sort the system... Also reports on the housings...

Hey guys after consulting with a good source of mine I just wanted to check if this is normal. After starting my car from cold it takes the thermostat 3 miles or 13 mins to warm up to 85C in fairly average traffic conditions. If there is heavy traffic and the car is hardly moving the thermostat...

Hello Years ago the thermostat was always in or near the top hose,,now many are in or near the bottom hose---can you tell me why//??? Anyway the stat on my car was stuck in open position so engine and heater was running very cold For a qwick temporary fix I put an inline stat in top hose...
