Water balance w123 300TD 88PS

Hello Forum Have a Benz w123 JG.83 300TD 88PS. My termostat doesn’t open, even for trailer operation, or highway ride. Have new termostat installed. Lower cooler hose always cold. Cooler is not clogged. It may be that the small water circuit does not become >90 degrees and my termostat never has to open. Car does not get too hot. Thank you Martin
