Thermostats can be somewhat intermittent. The one that came in my 83' 300D *kinda* worked. It didn't keep the car up to the temp it should be, but put it in a pot of water and it sure looked like it was working correctly. But then further looking revealed that it was not quite closing as fully or as quickly as it should have.
Either way, it's easy enough to tell if it's the thermostat, just look at your temp gauge. Levi On 10/17/06, Donald Snook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

That is the issue in this case. I had heat this morning. I did not the other day. I don't think thermostats are intermittent. They work or they don't. Also, I doubt I have an air bubble because I have not flushed and filled this car since I got it - almost a year now. I guess if I don't have heat tomorrow, I will look for an exorcist. Donald H.
