Behr Thermostats

[jlomon]

Does anyone know where I can buy a Behr thermostat for my '94 C280? I live in Toronto, Canada. Every on-line parts place I have found retails the Wahler thermostat, but I don't want that one.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Word has it, they are prone to breaking. ;)

I've actually heard the opposite, that the Wahler is more prone to breaking than the Behr. Some of the experienced techs on Mercedesshop.com really seem to believe in the Behr as being superior. Further, I've also heard that when the Behr piece breaks, it has a fail-safe that ensures it breaks in the open position, where with the Wahler it could break open or closed. That is the main appeal of the Behr.

You are 100 % correct. That's what I meant to say.
Sorry !!!!:(

Thanks JRE, I had a look and they only list the Wahler. But I sent them a quick email to see if they carry the Behr. Hopefully they can get it.

No worries, Manny. I mix stuff up too.
