How to replace the thermostat on an S320?

[PJayUK]

Hello all

I have tried the usual searches but so far turned up a fat zero of useful info. I have an overheating problem that is not bad yet but I want to nip it in the bud. On my list after a coolant drain, is to replace the thermostat on my S320. But I cant find any information on how to do so. Could someone provide me with an insight in how to tackle this job?

Thanks

I cannot help but pretty certain other people will need to which S class you are refering to; 140, 220 etc

Doesn't really tell me how it removes though!

Oh well, might need a little fiddle at the weekend
