I just put a new Waller in every 8 to 10 years when it comes time to redo the cooling system. Never had a leaking or stuck thermostat but we do live in Southern California, so I think things tend to last longer Here

I've had a Wahler fitted for 1.5yrs and everything's ok so far
Spend slightly extra and get a quality OEM Wahler thermostat.
Got the Wahler on my 2008/2011 and it was identical to the MB part except the area that had the MB logo on the original one was ground out.
I've had the thermostat on my M272 engine replaced by an indy mechanic. OEM was Wahler, looking at the original the the Wahler I got, the only difference was the spot where the MB logo was on the original, it was grounded out by some grinding disk on the replacement one.
I’ve replaced it twice and it starts leaking from there in about 2000 miles or so. I’m willing to bet that thermostat is a Wahler brand. They are known to leak like this.
The wahler thermostat is either broken or its too cold where i live cause the car never really gets up to temp (or my temp sensor is broken).
The Wahler one's are rubbish. Did the same after my fucking brand new Wahner DID NOT work....
I've replaced my thermostat with a new wahler one and I have the same problem which is that it openes at around 70°C and cools my engine to almost 50°C, from what I understand the thermostat is mechanical and electronically assisted to open faster/wider
I just replaced the original thermostat at 90,000 miles because at highway speeds it would run slightly cold and took a while to warm up from cold. The new wahler replacement takes just as long and will actually run cold intermittently when not on highway. Occasionally it won’t deviate from center on the highway.
