Did you complete the full citric flush as per the FSM (degreasing, etc)?

yeah, its not that it wasn't opening, or was stuck open, its that one is twice the gap at 100c
yes, detergent, etc. -- but even before i owned it, this is one of those mercedes that came with the maintenance booklet, all the maintenance done meticulously -- it looked the same before and after the flush
still don't know what the temps will be, will know next week -- it is a very cheap rad, about $85 off ebay/amazon, new, but the company has good reviews - klimoto, i think -- and on a manual tranny 240d, is very easy to replace -- will let you know how it looks
