oem thermostat vs. original equipment manuf.

Yes, it happened to me.My 82 300d has run @ 100c for a couple of months after installing new oem thermostat,radiator,hoses.Yesterday had to replace lower radiator hose so I decided to install a Mercedes brand thermostat.You guessed it.Now the temperature runs @ 85c.Both thermostats were set to open at 80c.Moral of the story-No more oem stuff for me on important parts like this!!Hope this helps.
