How do you know the thermostat is bad

Thanks guys, used your tutorial tonight to switch out the thermostat in my 2007 C280, very similar process. I haven't worked on engines much, but I managed to change it out in about an hour and now she's running great and maintaining a constant temp. Thanks again!

Thanks for creating this video. Awesome job of showing the detailed steps.

That's exactly our goal! We are happy to help, Bereket!

Thank you so much for this video. My mom has never allowed anyone to work on her 2007 C280 other than Mercedes dealerships, but she wanted to save money and needed this done so she entrusted me to do it since she knows I like to work on my own car. I'm not a mechanic by any means, but I know enough to get some things done. I used your video as a reference when needed just to double-check my work as I disassembled things. Very helpful for a gal like me!

you guys rock. got the kit, watched the video and replaced thermostat in 2 hours all together.

AWESOME VIDEO! Parts, labor and tax at the dealer $642! Bought your kit on sale and shipped in 2 days for $120. Did the job on an hour and 25 minutes

Gareth ! Thanks for the amazing videos/tutorials. Not only this one but also others are very informative, step by step procedures with very clear explanations. I just discovered FCP Euro and planning to shop there in the near future. Thanks for helping all of us DIYs. ;)

This video is super helpful and I also replaced the thermostat on my 2008 E350 (W211). My only issue when replacing was removing the old faulty thermostat but I got it removed and cleaned the area with some of the old gasket with a razor blade too. Thanks for the DIY video guide.

Great video. You can't make a better instructional video than this!

I just ordered your kit. The dealer wanted $750.00 for this repair! Thanks!

@@smilelove6875 mine worked fine. you may have a bad thermostat or it may be stuck if you installed it incorrectly but I think it only fits one way and it would be hard to install it incorrectly.

Great video! It really helped me out a lot. I tried to take a short cut but that never worked so I followed your instructions and completed the job. I took it to a local parts store to clear the error code and they said it had to be cleared at the dealership so I drove it to another parts store and they were able to clear the error code. Not all parts stores have the same code readers so it does make a difference. I found that AZ is the best place to take it to...

Great video, the step by step was very good. So many video leave out key steps..Thanks man

Useful video. I'm replacing the stock thermostat this weekend on my 2010 C250. I'm pretty sure it has failed. Love working on these small cars, they remind me of my e46 I had a lot of fun workin on before.

Very helpful video. The 3.5 litre engines in the 2012-2014 models have a different configuration, though. Don’t need to remove vacuum pump or idler pulley on those, but is very tricky to remove one of the three screws holding the thermostat on due to the position of the hose running from the air filter to the intake manifold. Regardless, I was able to successfully replace my thermostat after watching this video.

No minute intro no telling us about things irrelevant to the video. Straight and detailed how it should be.

Thanks again. Always helps me fix my wife's c300. 👍👍👍

Was it easy to reinstall the belt? I can really see in the video how he looped the belt back on the pulleys.

Ordered the kit and doing it Sunday. Fingers crossed!!!

Great how to video. Very details and informative. Thank you.

AT 9:09, you say you push back the hose clip before reinserting the hose. Its designed to leave the hose clip in the locked position and simply push the hose back into the thermostat orifice. Much quicker and you'll know when it's locked in. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

Great DIY video...FCP the best parts in CT, European Cars❤

As always FCP is awesome! I'm going to use this video for our w211 since it's identical! Bought my parts from you guys as well! Keep it up!

Because of your awesome video, I was able to change the thermostat on my 07 ML350. The thermostat from MB cost me $190. However, I saved on the hourly repair cost of $150. Two thumbs way up!

Very helpful. I've just done this job on our 2007 R171 SLK280 UK spec. helped by your video. A few comments. There is less space in front of the engine on an SLK. I found it easier to remove the vacuum pump first, then do the belt work. Removing the final screw holding the bracket for the vacuum switch or sensor on the front right of the engine makes getting the vacuum pump off and on easier around all those small hoses. I syphoned all the coolant out of the expansion bottle with a soft narrow hose and had little loss when the thermostat was pulled out. Initially I hadn’t realised that the 17mm socket is located on a boss on the belt tensioner not its central screw.

You're welcome!

Depending on mileage if you are planning a thermostat replacement on some models it should be negligible extra labor to change the water pump, thermostat, tensioners, idler pulley and serpentine belt all at the same time. If done correctly it can save you from having to go back in a second time. This also gives a good baseline of wear for future tracking.

Just ordered the kit for the 06 c230 sport... hoping to be putting this on Saturday... wish me luck

Great tutorial, needed this, to do my in law's C300, wondering why you didn't use some silicone grease on the thermostat o-ring or sealant on the gasket

Very Descriptive and informational good video I have 2009 C300 4Matic on OBD the message was thermostat closed or not fully open, salesman at a local auto part was describing as it is ok to drive it might take a little to open the valve temp. gauge is still the same as usual what now need your feed back if possible

Just perfect, best DIY till now. Garage ATU in germany ask me 150€ to do it! I did in just 30 minuts. Vacumpump i just lose the screws, the space was enough.

On a 2009 C300, the air injection pump has 5 screws not 4. Two screws are on top and 3 at the bottom . 2 of the screws which are at the bottom are attached to a bracket and underneath them, there is a longer screw which attaches the pump to the engine.

Thanks for the DIY!! i will have to do this on my c350 tomorrow.. quick question.. is the Thermostat suppose to sound like it have something rattling inside of it? i just want to make sure that is how it suppose to sound.. any help would be appreciated! thanks

Thanks for the very helpful video!! Got a 2011 c350 with 30k kms. CEL lit up yesterday and scanner says P0128 (coolant thermostat). I wonder if i need to replace it right away or is it still drivable? My engine temp is still normal at 90deg. Should i replace that thermostat then ? Thanks!

Appreciate the video, good job! I may have to change out the thermostat on my 2010 C300 Sport and this will come in handy. I'm getting P0128 error from scanner and the most common fix appears to be either the thermostat or engine coolant temperature sensor. Car is running fine with no fault indicators but having a hard time trying to locate engine coolant temperature sensor on my model and was wondering if you could via video/pic show me where it's located. Any assistance appreciated.

Brilliant video but I need some troubleshooting help. When I pulled out the thermostat housing, the thermostat stayed in the engine. What do I do?

You are welcome. The thermostat should absolutely sound like something is rattling inside of it. There is a small metal ball in the bleed hole that should freely move around.

awesome video, easy to follow. thank you FCP. my 2007 c300 mercedez benz "engine check" icon came on my dash board with a code P0128 indicating "thermostat coolant temperature" and below says "thermostat regulating temp". i am using an OTC OBD2 scan tool to diagnose my car. i replaced the thermostat and put new coolant and the temperature on my dash board now showing a bit above 80degC fluctuate to 90degC top. the "check engine lights" coded P0128 is erased and gone now. is this normal after i replaced the thermostat? please help. thank you. i am watching the dash board temp closely if it will rise beyond as indicated above but it stays the same 80deg to 90 degC top for 2 days now. thanks again for your input.

good job

First of all thanks for the video. The install was easy but still have a problem. After installation of the thermostat the check engine light is still on. What do I do?

Nice video. I would add that any o-rings like to be lightly coated with oil, or grease, before being pushed into the hole!
