1985 300SD thermostat replacement | Mercedes-Benz Club of America
post #3

Thanks for the info. Partscarver. I appreciate the input but my car has 603 not a 617. The 'stat is in a different location on the 603. But the way it fits in the housing is probably the same. Can you verify this? Wouldn't the car overheat if the 'stat were in backwards?

Thanks again.
