temp

The coolant temp needle on my SEC has all of a sudden become really twitchy. It will sit at the correct temperature for a while and intermittantly flick back to zero. Im guessing its the sensor, a connector or the insrtument cluster. There are 2 or 3 sensors near the water pump, any ideas which...

We are having a little heatwave here. I got in the car today and the outside temp gauge was reading 45.5 degrees centigrade. We are looking at the same temp for the next week or 2. Anyone seen any hotter?

I have a fluctuating temp guage and have no idea whether this is a 'normal' w124 fault or if it has a simple solution. Any help would be much appreciated as the regular move to the red zone is becoming unnerving. To clarify there is no cooling problem with the car.

Initially I thought I had an alternator battery issue as the battery seemed flat when trying to start the engine while hot, but when replaced with a brand new 92Ah battery the results are only marginally better. The engine cranks very slowly as if the battery is almost flat, but does eventually...

I have a clk230 kompressor cabriolet and the display on the dash has a temp on the left and a clock on the right.Both displays seem to have various lights missing on the display and im wondering if anyone else has this problem and if it is expensive to put right.It seems strange both sides are...

As in title - engine temp gauge doesn't work - why not and any suggestions as to how to rectify this gratefully received! Tim!

Can anyone tell me where the outside air temp sensor is located. i have recently bought a new one , the existing one show over 50 degrees, and cant seem to locate it to change it over. i have also got a copy of mercedes wis, cant find it on that either. :confused: cheers chris

According to my internal temp gauge its minus 7 today although the BBC weatherman swears blind its 16 degree's. Were is the external temp sensor on the CE220 as i think it needs changing and does anyone know how much they are ( Genuine mercedes parts only please ) Cheers Matt

Hi All, Noticed that the temp on my S211 doesn't go over 80 deg C even after a good half hour m way driving. Been looking at couple of other threads and seems common problem that temp senders go faulty. Question is, how easy is it to replace? Do I need to drain out the coolant first...

Does anyone think this problem could be the Interior Temp Sensor ? My symptoms are every now and again the blower comes on full power and heat for about 10 mins, I have no control over the fan speed or temp, they both come on full. I've changed the blower regulator so it not that. Car - 1999...

So, I'm travelling down through Luton to Watford to Hendon around the M25 to Slough tomorrow (Thurs 4th Feb) then back again. I have once again tried to get my dealer to change the MFD to show outside temp but with a frustratingly amount of hassel and no joy. Is there any one in the above...

I was driving our 211 today and noticed that the engine temp semed low , i think . The guage was reading around 60 c , is this low ? The car had covered over 10 miles and was in trafic , so the car was has hot as it was gonna get . Im thinking that my thermostat may not be closing fully , and...

I have a non aircon C200 and according to haynes I should have 2 coolant temp sensors. One for the gauge and one for the fuel system. Euro car parts also offered me the two separate sensors. My car only has one et al aircon models? Can anyone confirm wether this is correct? Both other holes...

How much does a new thermostat cost? My Dads ML varies in temp lowest 40 highest 70. How long does the car usually take to reach the operating temperature? Lastly we have noticed that sometimes the fuel guage can suddenly move down after a while and then in some rare circumstances go back up a...

Hi i have a w124 2.5 d k redg,( running on pumped bio 80 / 20 mix ) while driveing up a hill ,suddenly car started to loose power, i dropped down the gears ,and just made it to top,drove round the corner to my brothers,and descided to go around block again,the car cut out" started o.k fuel...

I have a 1999 C220 CDI. Only got the car about a month ago.First the outside temp display is always shown -38C. Checked the sensor and it was missing:eek:! I thought it's just a matter purchased a new one from the dealer. Finally, received a new sensor a couple of days ago. Clipped it on to the...

I managed fix my lump running problem with a replacement injector but have since noticed two things. The first cold start in the morning is lumpy/shaking until I rev it or drive off with it and as soon as my temp goes above 80 degrees it feels slightly lumpy, like the fuelling is slightly out...

Hi, I have a w124 e280 104 95, that has developed an erratic temp gauge fault it jumps around most of the time while driving. It will scoot up to well over 100, and then drop like a stone to just above 80.....and it does this all the time now, oil pressure is good and the car runs...

This is a job which I keep meaning to get around to! My external temp gauge tells me all sorts of weird temps, and I've been told it is the sensor which needs replacing. Does anyone have one please? Will one from another model fit my W124? Cheers!

Quick story bought car 16 mths ago, ran hot, bought new viscous hub, temp now sits at a needles width above the 80 degc and stays there only rising slighlty in traffic. Last 2 weeks i have noticed the needle creeping upwards in fact last weekend i actually heard the viscous hub fully engage...
