E350 cdi thermostat

Hi all

Think my thermostat is on its way out, seems to dip in temp when heaters on.

Any aftermarket recommendations as the genuine one is £180.

Many thanks in advance

Thermostat / hose query - 2014 E350 CDI convertible | Engine

Hi all, Hope someone can help! Last week I bought my first MB (Had BMWs all my life), and sorting out a couple of issues. Already replaced the battery, oil filter/cabin filter/ oil/ cabin filter. Next job is a garage for transmission service. Anyway, engine temp was very erratic, sometimes...

Buy a genuine one from the dealer. It's probably Wahler branded.
Buy cheap, buy twice.

Thanks. It was replaced around 3years ago before I purchased the car, £180 seems steep imo. Rather change every few years for a working £40 part. If I can source a wahler part with the mb price tag, that would be ideal.

Are these 87 or 92degC opening?

I have an 2011 E350 CDi. My gauge sits about 85 degrees when the engine is fully warmed up. Two thermostats have given the same result.

Looking online for a replacement, there seems to be 2 different temp quoted
