I was expecting to see "Made in WEST Germany" as it looks like it was never changed since 1980... <img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg163/MalayCooper/IMG00781-20130115-1847_zps3a8994e6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg163/MalayCooper/IMG00786-20130115-1849_zps61f8dd9e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Note the "see thru area" at the top of the stat... the thermostat was stuck partially open! It would not close fully/wont open either LOL. No wonder it was running hot in traffic... Rm35 solution...Syed</p></blockquote><p></p>
