Checking out temperature-controlled enrichment is always a good idea.

But don't look for the 560's big temperature sensor on the 380 - it doesn't have one. On the 380's, warm-enrichment is controlled by the warm-up regulator, which uses a bimetallic piece of metal pressing against a diaphragm to change control pressure in the fuel distributor.

This is one of the major differences between CIS K-Jet and CIS KE-Jet, which Mercedes started using in 1986.
