yes it is. the standard thermostat is rated at 87degrees, however, I came up with a little mod which lowers and limits the temp of the 104 engines:

Thanks, jnenad. I have a 9 C280 V6 & a fan(electric) behind the radiator. Will that thermostat mod work for me? Part No. 1002000715 from http://www.autohausaz.com/.

sorry, this mod is only for M103 and M104(inline 6) engines with mechanical radiator fans.
