Thanks, took care of it today already. I don't have all the tools required to get the job done right. So I had the car towed to my ind MB mechanic to change it. I watched him doing it, I'm glad I didn't do it myself. It seemed harder than I expected. I haven't work on a car for many years. So my skill is very rusty. BTW, the car has been running a bit hotter than normal. Even on the evening of a cool night, the temp gauge would still go between 80 and 120 peak. Must be the themostate going south??
