Oh wow, if I am wrong about the coolant flow direction I apologize.

Just an FYI, to echo the information above about Mercedes parts. Here's a link from 928 world. At the time of posting, less than $40: https://928srus.com/products/9285745...3b88c19c&_ss=r

ETA: Or even better, how about a part with a lifetime warranty, for half the price - https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...mer-0008305784

Cheers

The OEM style can split and dump all the coolant in seconds, this can be dangerous to motorcycles as well as leaving you stranded.
this happened to me a few weeks ago. I replaced it with a mercedes valve i bought from Pelican P/N 000 830 57 84 int = $28.50
