overheating

I have a C200 (1996) and have just had its 108k service and MOT and the dealer said "Engine temperature increased during test - advise check" I have had this problem for a while but haven't been using the car much. The engine temperature gauge shows the engine getting quite hot (has shown up to...

Grrr... this is getting very annoying! Since a couple of days, my computers internal alarm has gone off every time I do something moderately computationally intensive. I can't watch a dvd, while having iTunes open and have several other windows open. If I compress large files, the dreaded...

Hi guys, Last night on my way back from Leicester on the M1 i noticed the temperature gauge creep up to 120 degrees...!!! Then stuck in traffic, the car felt very shaky... Got home checked the coolant and it was fine, checked the fan and it was working... So can anyone shed any light...

just noticed today the temperature heading towards the 100 mark while stationary as soon as I reved the engine the temp dropped to just over the 80 and settled there, checked the viscose fan at idle & was easy to stop, could the fault still be the fan?

Hi all, after a bit of advice with a problem that developed on my 1998 C250 TD estate. The misses rang up to say the car had conked out. Had lost power when she was driving along and the temperature gauge was in the red. As you can probably guess buttocks got rather twitchy. Anyhow when...

:( The worst thing happened to me today.......... Was driving down fulham palace road with the aircon on full blast..........lovely day........ Then, all of a sudden, the aircon started pushing out warm air?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?:eek: Looked at the temperature..........needle pointing at...

I was wondering if any of you folks might have some help for me with my 1988 190E. Previously, the temperature never rose more than 60 - 80 degrees. In the last few months it sits at 90 degrees constantly once warmed up (even on the motorway with the heater on full) and is accompanied by faint...

2.9 TD engine - same (basically) as the 300 TD e class. Sprinter (old shape) fully loaded (3.4 tons on the scales) LWB semi high top, with a bloomin gert big air con box on the roof. replaced:- thermostat viscous fan coupling fluid (and flushed) several times Radiator in reasonable nick...

hi guys my merc 500 seems to be overheating, the temp gauge goes close to 120 degrees in traffic... but on motorway seems fine (into 90 95 degrees). and today when reached home i could hear boiling noise from the resovoir.... what could it possibly be and is there a bleed valve or screw any...

Took car to a specialist in golders green, was super. Took it the night before, then got phone call at 9:30am the next day problem diagnosed, a matrix blockage and a weak main viscous coupling. Sorted out by 1.30pm, picked the car up in afternoon and the manager showed me the faulty part and...

when i 'thrash' the sprinter, it gets overly warm - gets to 105 ish degrees, cruising at 70 - 80. changed thermostat. flushed rad and engine (half an hour each) 'rad cleaner-ed' teh system - left it in for 2 days - a bit of an improvement (used to go to 110 degrees) OK - this isnt...

When I have the air con switched on in my C36, the temp seems to get a lot higher than when its off. I don't think it will overheat but am not sure as I haven't been on a long enough journey..When I turn the a/c off temp lowers...Is this normal? Temp has gone to about 95 I guess.

Just of late I have noticed that the engine water temp has been a bit funny.When I am driving along the temp is fine at about 82deg but when I slow down for traffic or join a queue for more than a couple of mins the temp starts to rise fairly quick and after about 5 min its nearly hitting the...
