The car is a very early 123 with what I presume is a very early style
thermostat housing. We should get Dimitri to get a picture of the thermostat
housing, its weird looking...
Remember it didn't always do this and when its "overheating" its bubbling the
coolant back out the radiator so its not just a temp gauge variation. My '84
190D temp gauge creeps up sometimes but always drops back down, that one is a
gauge gone mad. I've replaced the thermostat, the radiator, and the temp sender
but still the issue persists. Now I just ignore it although a dose of
water-wetter has helped stabilize it some.

What style thermostat housing does this use? 'Cause I have had
troubles with the newer style not always sensing the temperature
correctly. The "fix" is a 5 mm or so hole drilled in the
thermostat to allow some flow even when cold "off".
