Brand new, GENUINE Mercedes-Benz Lower Thermostat housing.  New, old stock.  Perfect condition, no pitting, no damages whatsoever.   Perfect part for a restoration.

Buyer to verify part number, or if uncertain whether or not this will fit your particular vehicle, please let me know your VIN and I can look verify fitment for you.  This *might* fit some 240D if you block off the second threaded hole, but I have not verified this.

This particular one has two threaded holes in it: one hole comes with a bolt already in it and on some vehicles that bolt is removed and a vacuum sensor valve is threaded in.  The other hole is empty and in nearly every vehicle has a coolant temperature sensor that you will need to swap over into that hole.  If yours does not have such sensors, then a bolt and a copper or aluminum crush ring (not included) may be inserted, at the mechanic's option.
