Hi,

Where is thermostat located on W202 C280?
Is there any guide out there about replacing thermostat?

Thanks,

Adrian

Engine forum?

Anyways, open the hood of your car..standing in frot of the car facing the windshield. The thermosstat is at the front of the engine (away from the firewall) and to the right. It's a little dome loking metal housing with alot of tubes going in it held close by 2 screws I believe. If you replace it..make sure you know the orientation of the thermostat...there is a hole on the thermostat so make sure that hole lines up.

Edit since JRE edited haha

For the exterior thermometer, it's in the lower front grille area, driver side.
