Question C230 thermostat and to say hi!!

Hello, I'm the new girl here I'm very proud of my c230 Kompressor 2002, he is very cute! But I have some problems. First to all, I like to do everything in my car, with help of my friends and boyfriend. So please help me I removed the thermostat and I went to the autozone, OReilly and others but they don't have the correct piece. I did my research and we'll my thermostat have a little ball and the other ones... Well I don't know, somebody here please help me, which brand it's the correct and better, because in my Mercedes-Benz dealer the price is around the 100 bucks.

I have picks but I don't know how to show u!!

if so, you can go with brand named "Wahler", it's an official supplier of MB T-stat,

most of MB part shops has it, just give them the part #, which is: "111 200 15 15", or "111 200 17 15"..

This part # "111 203 10 75" means you have the first version of M111K Engine..

Take this for what it's worth because I do not know if it's entirely true, maybe someone can chime in. The same thing happened with my 07 C230 where the thermostat from Autozone looked different than the OEM one. Despite having the same part numbers and the same brand, they were still different.

What I was told is that MB does not allow anyone who manufactures their parts to sell them to anyone but a dealership. I was told this by a few technicians and parts guys along with Interstate when I asked to buy the battery straight from them, they said they are not allowed to. The parts you find at Autozone or O'reilly for example are made for the same application but with different quality standards than what MB requires so they can get around selling you the part directly.

It makes sense why I have come across parts looking different and not lasting as long, but I raise this issue up to see if anyone can confirm it or not and maybe help you decide one which part you want to go with. I go with OEM parts and I just have dealerships or my tech get it discounted below costs, or ask a local dealer to match parts.com since it's a MB dealership out of Illinois. I have had success getting parts cheap that way and it limits concerns like this.

Good luck fixing your boy and enjoy him!

I asked the dealer here, they said "111 203 10 75", is been replaced to "111 200 15 15", or "111 200 17 15"...
