New member here first post. I have a vito 02 108 150000 k on it. changed thermostat on it but still running cold goes upto 40on temp when stationery. When driving goes near 80 on temp drops down again if stationery for a short time. any1 have a clue whats going on. thanks

Hello, your stat could be faulty. Mine did that until i bought one from dealer. Stick a clamp of some kind on the pipe top left if looking into the engine. If the temp goes up then the stat is not working. Although idle is not really enough to warm the engine much in this weather. Assuming its diesel that is.
