Thanks for the dimensions!
It is a wahler. It is made in Germany.
Should I heat the tstat in boiling water to open it up to facilitate insertion
of copper pipe/shell casing?
What will prevent it from dislodging?

I never tested with IR thermometer.
I did not block tstat open. The last major thing I did was change that leaking
short hose as I was convinced the problem stemmed from there. I was obviously
wrong.
My Indy modified the tstat making bottom plate smaller. Not sure what his

I just got the car inspected at my Indy mechanic. He knows these cars like the

something I've been noticing but couldn't figure out as radiator flows freely

Mercedes Source is definitely nice to deal with. I bought an injector pop
tester a couple of years ago and the needle in the gauge was broken. I emailed
them and they immediately sent me a new gauge. No questions asked.

I hate my local dealerships. You are very lucky to have a dealership that works
with you and is knowledgeable. That's why I use the Classic Center. No
nonsense, fair pricing, fast shipping. Tom Hanson is truly a gem of a person.
He is also a true enthusiast, goes to MB events, and concours. I we

Speaking of 240D sewing machines, the 1980s vintage, made in Germany, Durkopp
Adler 167-373 industrial walking foot machine is a veritable brute. A

home machines have a motor build into the machine head which is small and not
very durable if used hard.
I bought a used industrial walking foot Adler machine made in Germany. I will
be using it for auto upholstery w
I can buy Amsoil at the local NAPA but I choose M1 as it's more affordable.

The guy is a clown. Does he realize how cold it's been during the past week? He
bought an old generation diesel and therefore should expect difficult or

I think the 1.8 turbo VW Audi engine is phenomenal. I drove a friends old Audi

Mazda a is not a good match for New England winters based on my observation of
