Hi all new member been lurking a for a while, bought my long looked for dream car last Tuesday and have a few issues I need to resolve, Its a 2011 E350 Blue efficiency Avant-garde Estate, the Thermostat seems to be failed in an open state as the car takes a while to warm will hit 80 in traffic but falls down below 60 on a run and obviously MPG is suffering, nobody has these in stock including MB nor can they give me a ETA as there are non in Germany, I can get the one without the sensor but not the one with it, so question is can the stat internals be changed from diagrams it looks like it can be but the wires to the sensor worry me, what exactly is it? if its left unplugged will the ECU think there is a problem?
Does anyone have a potential source of a stat for this at all?
Cold starting seems a bit hit and miss, injectors have been out and tested all ok, Garage has removed and checked Glowplugs they seem ok so am now looking at the relay which funnily enough is next to the stat 2 birds me thinks, however am not able to buy the beru one so will an oem such as Champion do? I would buy MB but its eye wateringly expensive for probably the same part truth be told.
Jobs done new wheels and Tyres (18s)
Aircon regassed
Full valet
Rear shock mounts replaced
to do Respray both sides due to poor key scratch repairs
Stat
Starting issue
Knock on rear n/s Airmatic on harsh bumps still not resolved
