temp

hi first post and first mercedes!! i have a v230 fashion and have a couple of problems, only just bought it so a bit gutted.:doh: 1. the cooling fan doesn't kick in when engine gets hot 2. the coolant temp gauge fluctuates badly, jumps from 0-90 constantly so unsure of temperature. 3. a whining...

hi i have a preface lift w202 out side temp sensor main dealer part mb number A 001 542 26 18 it comes with all connectors and pins and lead still in package never opened priced =40 sterling ill pay postage

My 2004 cdi c220, auto, seems to be running at 70/75 and reaching the middle mark of 80 only after a long run. My run to work is 19 miles each way so its barely breaking a sweat. Took it to the garage today and he said it s fine, "the fan is always running on these German cars"...were his...

hi i have a w202 c36 that has a dull outside temp display on dash and its also reading 30 deg is this just a new sensor need at the front bumper or is their some thing else too look out for

It has always irritated me that Mercedes located the ambient air temperature sensor right next to the radiator [W168], the end result is temperature readings that increase when stuck in traffic. Would it be possible to re-locate the sensor elsewhere on the car and if so whereabouts?? Thanks

does anyone know where it goes? i thought it might be near the MAF? oh it a E430 W210

Recently my engine has been running quite warm nearly 90 C in the cold weather (Zero to 2 C) and now its a bit warmer (5 to 10 c) its running cooler - just over 80 c and I mean just over and doesn't budge I assume anywhere just over 80 c is perfect???? Over 90 c is not so good? Ok or am I...

Anyone know the running temparature of a E220 CDI { 2002 }W210 Model Any advice etc

I've had two occasions recently when the turbo seemed to be non-existent and a simple switch-off and re-start brought everything back to normal. This hasn't happened for about 8 weeks now but my Indy Merc pal tells me that the Air Mass Meter (if that's the right name) might well be on the way...

what could be the problem? is it an easy fix?

Having traversed the M1 & A50 twice in the last 24 hours, lowest temperature I saw was -12. From a quick google -10 is roughly the lowest effective temperature for grit to be effective. Certainly seemed plenty of grip at the time although a catastrophic slide was in the back of my mind every...

Hi, Have just bought a E200K w210 model on a y plate.All is good but have noticed that on the instrument cluster there are 2 faults... 1) The external temp guage to the left side of the dash is blank...no display at all 2)The gear position and clock guage to the right side of the dash is...

Why doesn't the tem guage on my S124 300TD work? Is it related to the thermostat or where else should I look? Thanks. Tim.

Hi folks, Being a new(ish) C63 owner I'm curious to know what people have observed regarding how low the oil temp goes in the cold. It isn't really cold yet and I've noticed the Oil temp in my C63 down to 9 degrees today as an example! Look forward to the feedback. Thanks, Kamal

Finally found a good one of these and have had it for about 2 months. 250k miles and tight as a ducks ***. I had always noticed that the temperture gauge on the dash never displayed the temperture. Not a problem I though, will get around to it when I had some time. Noticed that is came on the...

Recently I noticed that my car dont get to right temp. So I will be looking to change my termostat. That mae me think: how badly temperature of engine is effecting mpg? Is it that ECU is correcting fuel dose to reach certain engine temp? If so what sort of diffrence can be expected on engine...

When Idiling at a t junction I noticed ALOT of smoke coming from the exhaust, when I moved the accelerate away I nearly engulfed the van behind me... Although when I got going it wasn't really that bad. Later on I've driven to my gig tonight and noticed a similar albeit less extreme version...

As title really. Im guessing no, but wondered before I go and do it, saving me a job. The way the car drives feels to me like on cars when the intercooler is struggling, but its a fair size and the boost is v.low, so kinda surprised if it is, and the odd shape pipework makes an upgrade not a...

Hello ive got any issue with my wife's 2004 C200 Komp ive changed the pilot bushing due to it leaking transmission fluid which seemed to go ok but the following day the check engine light came on i scanned it and pulled code P0710 from the memory erased the code and all seemed ok for another day...

Hi all, I have noticed that the climate control struggles to lower the temp to 18 degrees (and it's not even proper summer yet), in fact I get fed up with the fan on max for 20 mins and turn it off, so I think the air con will need regassing? Has anyone used the Halfords DIY regassing kits...
