Product Description

The Cooltec THERMOSTAT 87°C is a vital component in your Mercedes-Benz's cooling system, designed to regulate engine temperature by controlling coolant flow. This thermostat includes an integrated housing, spring-loaded valve, and a separate O-ring gasket for secure installation and reliable sealing. It is engineered to open at 87°C, ensuring your engine reaches and maintains its optimal operating temperature for efficient performance.

This thermostat is compatible with select Mercedes-Benz models, including popular series such as the W202, W124, W210, and SLK R170 with M111 engines. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing an order to ensure correct fitment.
