Thanks for posting this, and if you happen to know where the one for my car might be, that would be fantastic. I'll hunt around.
I wonder if he stuck an 87c stat in there instead of an 80c stat....

I looked at my W126 service manual it did not mention the 117.968 either.
All the thermosats I've ever put in are the normal 87C units.
I wonder what brand they put in too.
Somewhat related but radiators really should be changed out after 10-12 years of service. That definitely helps.
