What are the signs of thermostat failure in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class in Pakistan?

My Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been overheating and sometimes takes a long time to warm up. Could this be related to a thermostat failure? What are the most common symptoms of a failing thermostat in this model, especially considering Pakistan’s climate and driving conditions?

Common signs of thermostat failure in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class include:

Engine Overheating: The thermostat may get stuck closed, preventing coolant from circulating and causing the engine to overheat, especially in Pakistan’s hot climate.

Engine Taking Too Long to Warm Up: If the thermostat is stuck open, coolant continuously flows, preventing the engine from reaching optimal temperature quickly.

Fluctuating Temperature Gauge: You might notice the temperature gauge rapidly rising and falling due to inconsistent coolant flow.

Poor Heater Performance: The cabin heater might blow cold air if the engine doesn’t warm up properly.

Coolant Leaks: A faulty thermostat housing can sometimes cause leaks around the thermostat area.

Given Pakistan’s hot weather and often heavy traffic, these issues can be more pronounced and should be checked promptly to avoid engine damage.
