For sure! Check some before temps too. Im curious if this is legit or makes even minimal differences. Ive had mine sitting for a week now but due to some other engine issues I can't test it as i planned.

Curious to know if this will make any difference. But, I can't reckon it's too difficult to install...so I might just grab it anyways.

Got mine installed today... Temperature remained the same for all driving conditions as with the previous thermostat... My car runs coolant between 89-91 celsius (192-195 farenheit)
however this could mean the previous thermostat was also a 180 ?
what does everyone else's car run for coolant temps?

My coolant temps during normal driving are usually 195-197, get to 200 on hot days or when I'm beating on it.

However, during long highway cruises at constant speed, the coolant temp fluctuates from 182-197. It has gone as low as 178 for brief periods.

How easy/difficult is it to change the thermostat? Don't need to do a full coolant flush do you?

Mine was same before the supercharger 194-197. Now it lingers right at 212* F which the oem spec is rated for

you don't need too really, could just add the colony you lose although I drained it all and put new stuff in...
takes like 30 mins if you go slow to change it
thermostat is on the top of the engine so relatively easy to get too

Oh sweet.

Benz says the coolant is a life-time thing right? I've got 73,000KM and the car is an 09, I wouldn't mind changing it though

Maybe I'll order it anyways. Doesn't seem like it's that expensive anyways.

I just installed mine today. The only difficult part I had was getting the spring from the new one to compress to get it in!

Installed mine. Shop threw out the box though, so no photos of that.

Don't notice anything different, temps are about the same. but haven't romped on it a lot yet though.
