81380SL--engine runs cold, thermostat OK
Hi--
I've got a '81 380SL with around 36,000 miles. I noticed that the heat gauge was around 40 degrees when it had been normally around 81. The heater put out hot air.
I put in a new thermostat. The heat gauge is still around 40. The heater puts out hot air.
Do I need to change the heat sensor, or is there some other item I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance for your help.
