Hi,
For no obvious reason the overflow return pipe elbow on the top of my radiator disconnected itself today spraying pressurised water all over the engine.
This is on a '93 e320 straight-6 engine; there appears to be a plastic boss set into the top nearside of the radiator with 2 vertical...
Hey Guys

Having recently acquired my 320e with the m104 engine i noticed that the electric fans for the aircon work differently to my previous 260e, could someone confirm if this is normal or if it is a fault. On my 260e which ran on R12 gas once the temperature hit 100c both electric fans would come on...
Hello - has anyone ever experienced this, if so any idea what the cause is?. A new-ish top hose on the radiator was blown off, the hose sheared in a perfect circle. The jubilee clip was on fairly tight, but not to the point it would crush the hose, i don't think... result: possible blown head...

The test came back ok, no issue. But a preventative action is to replace it, not sure if it is worth it though.
I was quoted about 1000 to replace the radiator, a bit pricey I think...
Whilst my 1993 w202 was in for MOT today, the radiator apparently exploded during the emmision test. Not amused.
1. Is this a common problem.
2. What could cause such a thing to happen.
3. Who should pay for the repair....been quoted £139 supplied and fitted by the MOT station, who feel a bit...

Hello to all you fellow MB owners/drivers.
I have recently purchased a 1992 190E 2.0i. It has 200k on clock but has 6k on the recently fitted new (not recon) engine. Having not owned or really driven a merc before i was quite unfamiliar with its quirks and began to get alarmed when the temp...
