In looking at the service manual on changing the thermostat, I have
discovered the OM602.962 has its thermostat in the return hose from
the radiator and low on the block, not in the supply hose to the
radiator and high on the block like every other vehicle I have seen.
Interesting.

Funny that you say that, as I’ve heard on more than one occasion that when a

claim is that there is enough friction material floating in the fluid for it to

Only issues the car has from the discussion was the AC being low (blows cool,
not ICE COLD) and the transmission shifting hard and only when you lift off the

There are also no dealers, and few service centers.

I’m just thinking about a back-up car for around the ranch. I really like that
W114 diesel, but if the seller is stuck on that price they’re nuts. I am so

Did you give it some time to warm up?
If you are planning to replace the transmission, and the fluid level is
correct, and you don't want to mess with a fluid and filter change, then
I'd try some of the magical "transmission rebuild in a bottle" stuff. I
think that brake fluid is another red neck
