The OM601 was only in the US for '84 and '85 in the 190D. It had both an electromagnetic fan clutch on the engine powered fan and an added electric fan in front of the condenser which only comes on when the AC is on.

That's why I was thinking of the thermo as the first part to change. If that doesn't work then the next easiest is the fan clutch, then the radiator. As far as the electro magnetic fan fan clutch. What year and model car is that? I looked at the 190D with 601 and it showed what looked to be a plain electric fan, or are the electric clutches sold with the fan on them? Didn't look like it and only cost about $80.

High temps at low speeds is possibly the fan clutch... -Curt _______________________________________ 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
