Still, you don't have any air moving through the radiator. Perhaps the condenser fins are clogged (radiator fins should be clean, as it's new, right?).

Don't remove the thermostat. It's my understanding that, with the double-flange MB design, that jacks up the flow/bypass operation leading to all kinds of wierditude.
