    Hello, honorable forum members
    The patient is
    Mercedes and class 169 cdi 2008
    I have a question if the thermostat is to be replaced
    On the computer test, after warming up the engine, the computer shows the engine temperature of 67 degrees
    By contrast, the car clock is 80 degrees
    And now I don't know where it shows the true temperature
    Best regards and please give me a suggestion

    I don't see a connection between the measurement and the thermostat here.
    If something is damaged, it's more of a temperature sensor.

    Radiator fan turns on at what temperature?

    Do you have any mistakes?
    Start the car and touch the radiator hoses. If they both heat up evenly, you have to replace them.
    If you analyze these values a bit, you will see some spells, namely the car will reach over 100 degrees, and you will still see 90 degrees on the meter ;) such an act of engineers that people do not panic that their car is boiling ;)

    Hello. The thermostat opens the so-called large coolant circuit. In other words, the coolant flows from the engine block to the radiator. this is the role of the thermostat. The temperature sensor which is responsible for giving the value / engine temperature / to the pressure gauge (indicator on the dashboard) is placed either in the head or in the engine block. From what you write, you have a crazy temperature sensor. There is also a possibility of damage to the pressure gauge, but it is unlikely. It is most likely that everything is ok as mentioned above.

    Hello gentlemen
    Thank you for all the advice
    And can it be that this specialist in diagnostics does not have the original Mercedes program and reads the data incorrectly?
    On the other hand, the car heats up quickly because after a short time warm air flows from the grilles
    The temperature after driving about 5 km on the clock is a little over 80 degrees and then the thermostat opens because the temperature drops to 78-79 degrees and then remains at 80 degrees with a slight fluctuation, plus or minus 80 degrees
    greetings

    I accept this answer and do not intend to mention anything at the moment
    I close the topic

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a 2008 Mercedes A-Class 169 CDI experiencing discrepancies in engine temperature readings. The user reports that the computer indicates an engine temperature of 67 degrees Celsius, while the dashboard shows 80 degrees. Responses suggest that the issue may not be with the thermostat but rather with the temperature sensor or the pressure gauge. It is recommended to check the radiator hoses for even heating and to compare the temperature readings with an external thermometer during a cold start. A service technician later confirmed that the readings are normal for this model, leading the user to conclude the matter without further action.
