cooling

Hi guys, My A/C isn't very cold i am guessing that is because it needs to be re-gasses. No worries there but my heating only works on one side? My passenger side shoots out lovely warm air while my driver side just shoots out air, just the same temp as is out side? Thanks Brad :)

i have noticed when looking in my engine bay after cool down that a vaccum or partial vaccum is sucking in my rad top hose. i can free it off by openning the rad cap which pops it back out but surely this cant be right? i have also noticed the coolant reservoir overflow hose (free to flow when...

Hey guys, having a problem with overheating when the car is idle, radiator etc is all fine, so aslong as we keep moving its ok, but the fan is not being driven by anything just spins freely, can anybody tell me how it is driven? Engine is the simple 2 litre petrol, not fuel injected or...

Hello! I have a C200 and I want to change the cooling fluid. Can someone please post a how to (with pictures)? The cooling fluid what is your adveci? From the dealrship? Water with antifreeze? Thanks

How long should a 320 CLK take to get to normal operating temperature? Mine seems to take forever. It takes between 10 to 15 mins to reach just over half way on the temp gauge. Although once its there its stays there so no overheating.

CPU overheating? Then fit a Radiator.......... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190185311776&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RCRX_Pr2_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=190185297007&itemcount=2&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

Firstly, my apologies if this has been raised in a previous thread. I've had a look and can't see anything exactly the same. I have a 2002 C220CDI with manual air conditioning. The car has been in an acident with front end damage, although it's been repaired. As a part of the repair the...

hello all just been stuck in traffic and my 190 started to over heat, I have checked the fan and it is not coming in on the viscose. Any idea where I can locate one and the price ? cheers gary ox.

Hello My Mercedes 190e has been overheating lately with what i thought was a split top radiator hose but after replacement i can see that the problem is a cracked thermostat housing. I am wondering whether i need to replace the entire housing and thermostat or just the housing? or anything...

Hi All, I own a w124 300TD (atmospheric wagon) with AT and AC. It's rather hot here for towing a caravan and I want to be on the safe side. So I want to improve the cooling capacity on water, engine oil and AT oil. 1. Can I fit a larger radiator (300 turbo diesel's for example) ? 2...

Has anyone heard of the above coolant? I am wondering if anyone has used it as I am considering switching to it. Thanks, Sam

When the dash told me to check the cooling water I found the water normal and the temp OK. I bought a new sender (half turn - no need to drain) and thought that would take care of the problem. A few miles later and the warning came on again. Checked the manual and found the Cooling sender and...

i found this today and have to share it with the computer buffs on the site.cooling taken to the extreme or just total madness. http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/user/ebuehl/pool_cooling/

Anybody removed the viscous fan unit and fitted an electric Kenlowe style fan to the back of the radiator? Usually you can expect a couple of extra horses by doing it. I need all the extra i can get having an asthmatic 300 TD estate.

As many of you will know - have had problems ( now fixed ) with the duovalve - just had to have the water pump replaced - now also fine - EXCEPT - cant get any heat from the heater - obviously an air blockage - tried squeezing the pipes - drove it around 400 mls yesterday - still no water in...

Hi Just become owner of a SLK 320 manual 2002 Convertable and this being my first Mercedes. I am curious about the fan running during tickover after the car has warmed up after say approx 15 miles or so. Its quite noisey and stops when the ignition is turned off or when you are on the move...

Hi, my E320 has an odd problem - if I set *both* temperature dials to maximum cooling, there is sometimes a ticking noise that appears to come from somewhere around the glovebox. At first I thought it was the sound of expansion with two surfaces rubbing or something... but I soon realised that...

Hi I have just dropped a new Engine in my 300CE and the cooling Fan is running all the time. I dont remember it doing this before, so what have i done to cause this?? How can i stop it?? when i accelerate it sounds like a plane taking off :o

I have a nice w124 300 td (wagon non-turbo diesel) with AC and AT and it has the factory fitted radiator. I want to know in what ways I can improve the cooling for the engine, engine oil and AT oil. Is there a more efficient radiator in w124 family ?(like 300TE ?) May I apply some...

Hi, Is there a way to by pass the electrics in the car to see if the 2x electric cooling fans are working (W124)? Thanks
