Stu2985 Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Changed my thermostat on my 300 tdi old one looked almost new and rubber was mint in fact I almost left it where it was and returned new one. However I swopped em out anyway omg what a difference - after a couple of miles and a few minutes the heater was toasty as anything what an amazing difference. definately the best £5 i ever spent on the landy Quote
teabag Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Well done. was it like for like or did you put in a higher temp thermo? Quote
Stu2985 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Posted December 30, 2008 Well done. was it like for like or did you put in a higher temp thermo? hmm no idea lol went to local landy specialist and asked for a 300 tdi thermostat - looked same as the old one. Didnt even know thre was 2 diff types lol Quote
BogMonster Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 All 300 thermostats are 88 deg the last engine with different temperature stats was the old 2.5 petrol I think. A new stat makes a huge difference even if you think your old one is working properly you usually find out it wasn't as properly as you thought. I am almost inclined to change mine at the start of every winter for all it costs, and always fit a genuine one because the cost is still minimal. Quote
dantd5 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 So it is a must to change it every season? Mama mia... I better do mine then. It is icing cold here!!1 Quote
weasel_110 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Have to agree about changing it every year....mine was only starting to warm up after 10/15 miles, so I thought for the cost, it was worth a try. The one I took out had the rubber seal displaced, new one in and the needle starts to climb now after a mile and, half way to work heater is toasty! Best fiver I have ever spent on the Landie!

Cheers Gary Has anyone else noticed an extra blast from the heater when cornering? Does this mean there's a low fluid level somewhere? Silverbake. Quote
