Thanks.
Ihave the rubber gasket around the tstat itself. It's on nice and snug and fits nice and snug into the housing. Don't know why it's leaking. Is there also
a gasket that goes around the housing? I've never seen one and changed the tstat on three MBs so far.
The photo is actually from the parts car. I just didn't feel like opening my hood (walking across all the ice in my driveway) and the parts car hood is open forever (robbed of it's latch cable).
I just wanted to know what the 'thingy' (it's an industry term) was on the housing. The wire goes down and back to something with a motor and fan.
Thanks,
