Modded Thermostat assys from _PTEngineering
Hello all from the laboratory LOL/garage machine shop PTE engineering: Today I shipped my 100th modded Thermostat,year to date , for Mercedes Benz engines. This puts the shipment of the last 3 years into the 500+ range. I have four pieces left in the stockroom from last summer's order from Germany. As you know I use genuine Mercedes Benz assemblies and I modify and fit a vernatherm from Wahler built specifically for my applications. As many of you already know , with the three valve M-113 5.0 and 5.5 along with the M-112 3.2 , is no longer being used in current production cars. So it leaves me with the decision "Do I continue?" purchasing component parts or halt production of the modded thermostat assemblies ,I have a order in for 25 more Wahler assys. The forum Members here at MBworld have been great . I'm Just hoping for some honest Answers . I'm sure there will be some debate among the members. Thank you for your Past & Present interest. in _PTEngineering Stuff

I, too, have one and it performs perfectly. Thanks, Patrick!
Yes, It's a very easy installation. Everything within easy reach. The hardest part is catching the coolant that you need to drain from the system.

I have one and it works great. I don't think you should stop making these because the 55 cars are getting cheaper and cheaper. Once more people are going to realize that....there will be more and more people modding them.
