Hello! I have been stalking this forum for the past two weeks looking at peoples' posts about changing the thermostat and i did do just that. The thing is, before i changed both the main and EGR thermostat, my temps were at 50-60c and after the change they are still at 60-70 max, 83 when revving at 2.5k rpm stationary, cools down when i start driving. Looks like the main thermostat i changed seems to be defective (Mahle ti 234 88) and i saw a post on here showing the main thermostat picture new vs old. The old one was on the left side and the new one was on the right side. I need this picture to prove to the shop i bought the thermostat from that it is indeed defective and i can't seem to find it, not in my history, not by looking up the pictures. i am so lost right now and perhaps someone might have the picture, that would be greatly appreciated!

Because the temperature should be 88-91c and it's stuck at 70 and won't go any higher. I checked with a digital thermometer with the laser pointer - EGR thermostat is at a good 70 degrees celsius, while main stat sits at 45 degrees celsius. Mind you, this is after 60km of driving both city and highway.
