Cooling & Thermostats
BlackBoost wide open thermostats help Mercedes-AMG engines run cooler under hard driving in hot climates. Choose your model and engine below, including the M156, M157, M177 and M178.
Wide open thermostats for Mercedes-AMG
Hot climates and hard driving push engine temperatures up. A BlackBoost wide open thermostat keeps coolant flowing through the radiator at 100% at all times, while the factory thermostat only opens at around 100°C (212°F).
We make thermostats for Mercedes-AMG M177, M178, M176, M157, M278, M156 and M159 engines, plus Aston Martin models with the M177. Each one is listed by model, chassis and engine code, so you can find your exact fit.
Our thermostats are designed for racing applications and are not recommended for use in very cold weather.
Frequently asked questions
What does a wide open thermostat do?
It keeps the coolant circuit to the radiator fully open, so the engine is cooled at maximum capacity at all times instead of waiting for the factory thermostat to open at around 100°C.
Which thermostat fits my AMG?
Choose by engine code: M177 (C63, E63, GLC63, GT63, G63), M176 (G500, G550, S560), M157 and M278 (E63, CLS63, S63, S550), M156 (C63, E63, CLS63, SL63, ML63) or M178 (AMG GT).
Is a wide open thermostat suitable for daily driving?
It is designed for racing applications. It suits hot climates like the UAE and GCC but is not recommended in very cold weather.
Do I need a tune for a wide open thermostat?
No tune is needed. We recommend having it installed by an experienced mechanic.
