I changed the heater valve, not the monovalve. The heater valve is vacuum as listed in the FSM. I am familiar with the monovalve on W123 but don't know if I've seen one on the W201. Not saying it...

Maybe a better solution would be to install two bypass valves, one at 4 and one just before 5. Then I wouldn't have to plug and remove the lines, just simply turn the valve.

Sorry just saw this. I think I paid $400. It was shipped free via the dealer and they provided a classic discount to reach my price. Sucks I know.

I'm sure the MB engineers planned on the IP running with an 80 degree thermostat. You've clearly overstressed it. I guess your "5 years of racing experience" finally bit you in the arse.
