I read a message over on the other forum having to do with over heating that I had never heard of before. The "seat" in the T stat housing that the bypass part of the S stat seats against had corrosion, allowing coolant to flow past when it should be flowing through the radiator. I wonder if that is a common problem ? It sure wouldn't, hurt to check it out if your replacing the T stat or before spending the $ for a new radiator.

Also I read someplace that MB started using T stats that ran hotter because of emissions and folks were having better luck with Auto Zone or Pep Boys T stats. Totally to be taken with a "grain of salt", Just thought I would mention it in case anyone had ever heard of such a thing
