Thanks I'll visit them again but I couldn't see a Wahler one on there last time I looked.

Your cars got a W --- for the model , and it would help us to find one for you if it was included . Autodoc have them but i dont know if you have to have the casting if you dont need the casting just buy the thermostat https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/thermostat-10195/mercedes-benz/c-klasse/c-class-w203

Sorry it's a 2010 W212 E350 OM642. I thought the oem number would have been easier.

If i were you i would get your profle setup so we can help you so put the W212 and E350 in , the profile is the part under your name on the lefthand side ..I was searching for a 2011 C 180 now its a 2010. .Use the Autodoc site and put your model in on the left .

Sorry yes I'm about to do that. I've recently returned to Mercedes after having a dirty BMW.
I've just been back on the Autodoc site and they don't list Wahler unfortunately.

Why Wahler? There are many other reputable companies making thermostats.
I did a bit of research when I needed to replace the 'stat on my 2012 CLS (OM642), and there are two things I'd say:
1. Don't buy a Circoli.
2. Take a close look at the image before buying. If it looks like a cheap knockoff, it probably is. Google the company name with thermostat and see what you find.

That's the other question I was going to ask. I don't mind aftermarket if it's going to last. I was thinking about trying Febi Bilstein.
410403.92D cross references to A6422002215 on the wahler ecat. But they say only compatible with the g-wagon. It is on AUTODOC for around £100 which is a decent saving on the merc part but again they say it’s incompatible. All photos I’ve found of the wahler unit are taken from their website!
I need one for my cls 350cdi so actually emailed them earlier in the week to confirm if their catalogue is incorrect. No response yet. So far I’m just getting the slight fluctuation of temperature but holds above 80deg C. The rubber seal breaks down over time.
All the other brands seem to be the same Chinese unit at various price points which I’d rather avoid.

Oh, and $85 in the USA for the genuine part which is a bit annoying.

That's interesting. Yes that seems like the same part. I'll await your findings before I order one.
The dealer price is £105.70+vat so it's still a saving.

Just buy the part from Mercedes, it will be the correct specification, will fit, be of good quality and it will work.
How long has the original one lasted?

The Wahler one is a Mercedes one. Just cheaper hence the point of this post.Just buy the part from Mercedes, it will be the correct specification, will fit, be of good quality and it will work.

No idea how long it has lasted as it's on 127k and I'm the 5th owner. Could be original.

I realise that the Wahler unit is an OE (or OEM) part but if MB can provide a thermostat then is it not worth the extra cost for the guarenteed specification and fitment, how much did MB quote?
It might be worth contacting MB Newcastle on eBay. They have their own online sales section and can be very competitive
Your choice of course!
Good luck

In summary, no.
I own a w212 E350 and have also changed the stat after massive searching around for hours and hours.
You might be able to find an internal that works, but it's going to be trial and error. Search my threads for more detail and photos I've taken showing the inner removed.

Newcastle have it up on eBay for £156. Cheaper to go to my local. I'll just hold off until Richteo gets an answer from Wahler.I realise that the Wahler unit is an OE (or OEM) part but if MB can provide a thermostat then is it not worth the extra cost for the guarenteed specification and fitment, how much did MB quote?
