When I first picked up my 300D I noticed that the temps. were never up to the proper level. It would rarely go above 60 unless I was on the road for extended periods. It also took forever on the initial warm up.

Some preventive service and a few beers later I found that some idiot had gutted the thermostat and put a bolt through the fan clutch.

Long story short... I put in the correct BEHR 80C thermostat and a new fan clutch. Now the car warms up quickly and never rises above 85 to 90 in any situation. The car runs a hell of a lot better warm that it ever did cold.
