I presume the answer is YES and the level is NORMAL. If so, with the engine off spin the radiator fan. if it spins freely without reistance the fan clutch is worn and needs to be replaced. A worn fan clutch will cause the engine to run hotter at highway speed than at slower speeds. At least this was the case in my W108 sedan and W111 3.5 coupe. DImitri - are you reading this?

Even with genuine MB coolant if you never changed it and then overheated the engine a couple times you'd probably blow a headgasket... -Curt Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:20:11 -0400 From: John Reames <jwrea...@comcast.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Running hot.

Thankfully it was leaking to the outside of the block (exhaust side), only when the engine got hot. -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On Jul 10, 2012, at 23:41, Brian Toscano <brian.tosc...@gmail.com> wrote: I've had a few MB's with green coolant that did NOT overheat. One mechanic I talked to said he would put any color coolant I wanted in the engine. ;^) While I certainly do think its a bad idea to mix coolants, and MB coolant is certainly preferable, I do NOT think green coolant is as bad as some people say. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
