engine doesn't warm up in time

[rako77]

hi, i've noticed that sometimes the engine on my 1999 c230 k it's not warmed up even after 20-25 min and it works at temp around 60 C . i was wandering if anybody ever has seen this and btw it happens even when the outside temp is in the 50s
thanks in advance...

Sounds like you both need a new thermostat.

thanks a lot guys . is the thermostat change an easy task or should i better trust my mechanic with that?
I've done sth. like that in a diesel engine before but for some reason i don't feel very comfy working on gasoline and to be honest i dont even know where i would find the thermostat. I live in boston; what would be the best thermostat for a cold climate like this or they all come standart?
