Product Description

Ensure your Mercedes-Benz cooling system operates efficiently with the SKP Thermostat 87°C. This thermostat regulates coolant flow, maintaining the engine at the optimal operating temperature and preventing overheating or excessive cooling. Designed for select Mercedes-Benz models, it features an integrated 2-pin electrical connector and robust housing for reliable temperature control.

This thermostat is compatible with Mercedes-Benz models including the W169 and W245 series, such as A170, A200, B170, and B200 with the M266 engine. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
