hi there,
I'm thinking of fitting a grille block to my W202 to improve fuel economy (better aero, quicker warm-up). I've had good results with grille blocks on other cars.
Can I ask, is the W202 temp gauge accurate? it seems to read around (either slightly above or below) 85, whereas my old car would pretend everythibg was fiiiiine and read the correct operating temp "bang on" irrespective of conditions - so was clearly not to be trusted.
