i just cant imagine that the mb engineers would design a thermostat housing that restricted the flow at all.

and if that is true, then drilling holes in the stat body won't help.

just my opinion. i think it is pretty hard to think and get ahead of the factory engineers.

well maybe on the frankenstein ac bracket on the 115 and early 123 cars!
