Re: [MBZ] [SL] Hot under the collar

Just curious, you had the pump replaced.. there was a big flap years ago about some pumps not doing the job.  They were just designed wrong, and I believe  they were aftermarket pumps.  The true blue honest to goodness MB pumps were typically priced under them as I recall, but for some reason sh

Re: [MBZ] Similar Note - my 91 300D runing warmer -- **Was** Hot under the collar

The fan must be stiff when cold and spin at engine speed when started, then immediately slow down. It must also pull with significant air flow at idle with the engine hot enough to engage it (about 85 C I think). Also, when hot, it must stop immediately when shutting off, and this is the

Re: [MBZ] (no subject)

No bargains in red states for nice houses, you still gotta buy carefully. The secret, so far as I can tell, is to have a job with a real retirement (fat chance these days) and to buy a house in a neighborhood that will still be decent when you retire and PAY YOUR HOUSE OFF rather than kee

[MBZ] SD radio comes on loud with new battery

Not a big deal, but I wonder why the radio in my 83 300SD always comes on full volume when I reconnect the battery and turn the ignition switch to start the car. Even though the radio had been off when the battery was disconnected. It is the original radio/tape player. I have to be qu

Re: [MBZ] Similar Note - my 91 300D runing warmer -- **Was** Hot under the collar

I have a question about temps and my 91 300D. Some may recall I just replaced the radiator after the top hose nozzle broke as well as replacing the water pump and T'stat gasket. While all leaks have stopped the temp will go to just above the 80C mark by maybe 1/8" or so, I'm thinking it's ru

Re: [MBZ] Hot under the collar

Has the thermostat been tested to confirm it's working properly? It seems that thermostats can fail early. Also if the radiator is old, it could be partially blocked. What are the hose temps coming out of the radiator? I have the opposite problem insofar that the TE won't get past 80 much, should

De-scale, de-oil the cooling system? If the cooling system is up to snuff (which it appears to be, can you hold the computer closer to the radiator?) then the problem has to be something adding heat where it doesn't belong, timing maybe? Does turning on the heat help? -Curt _

Re: [MBZ] Hot under the collar

Check the function of the visco clutch and make sure the auxilliary fan comes on at about 100C. With both of those out of action on a steep grade, you will overheat. Also check to make sure the bottom radiator hose has not gone soft. They can collapse under high speed pump operation, star
