temperature

Hey all, I'm looking for the temperature sensor for my c class. Its w202 model, the bit i need is the module that sits in the front bumper. Cant seem to find it anywhere, and i'm refusing to go to a main dealers here (Ireland) because ill be robbed. Its just annoying me now when i sit in and see...

Fitted a new thermostat today my heater is like a furness ! Only problem is the temp gauge doesnt appear to be working. after you heat the engine up then turn ignition off then on the needle goes exactly to 80 oc then it just drops any ideas thanks ?

Hi All I have the E220Cdi W210 (pre-facelift) 2005 and am not getting the fuel efficiency I should be expecting on this car. Around town I average about 28mpg and on a run 38mpg. I have done the following to the car but have still had not luck in achieving the efficiency that other members...

Hi..have just bought a 2009 C220 CDi to replace a 1999 C200 Petrol. Driven it for a few weeks now and its lovely. However, I've noticed the Water temperature sits at a rock solid 90DegC.. in traffic or on motorway. My old C200 sat a rock solid 80DegC. Is the 90 DegC 'normal' for the C220CDi...

My delightful 95 W124 E320 Coupe came with a large number of desirable extras but no temperature sensor - it wasn't on the spec. Assuming it was never fitted, would retrofitting be an economic job? I do notice the absence and after last winter think it might be a useful thing to retrofit, but...

In normal circumstances the engine temperature gauge is or was showing 80-90 degrees after a drive of 3-5 kilometers or 5 minutes of drive and stabilizing there... I remarked lately that the same temperature is reached almost immediately without even a warm engine... At the same time some lights...

Hello All, I own a C220 CDI (2004). my car does not fit in my garage and I leave it outside over night. I am having difficulties in the morning when temperatures are below freezing and I start my car, it goes in limp mode. there is no malfunction displayed on the car computer. I have to wait...

Hi When warmed up, my 500 SEL runs at 80-82 deg C on the guage. This seems low compared with other cars I have owned, or is it normal? Thanks John

i drove my w124 about 7 miles the other day, and the temperature gauge didnt really move from about 50 degrees. ive bought a new thermostat and am awaiting delivery in case my current one is jammed open, but where does the gauge get its readings from? is it worth changing the sensor too...

Now, of late, wheezy (M271 Engine) has been reporting a cylinder temperature of around 70C instead of her usual 80C or so. Reading up on here, it looks like ambient temperature is the likely problem, but what other faults are possible causes? I hasten to add that the engine runs fine and...

not sure if this should be in here or engines. picked up my w124 last night, 300D :thumb: temperature gauge decided to shoot from normal to off the chart, i pulled over to cool the engine and if necessary top up the radiator which has a small leak, however the engine didnt seem very warm at...

I got the 2002 car three days ago and has done 80k but runs really well. However, the temp gauge never goes up beyond about 45. Is this normal? Also noticed that heater blows warm air but not really hot when at max setting. Is this connected? Your help much apprecated.

Hello, the dreading glow plug light come on again after I started the engine... The glow plugs are only 2 month old. I have checked them from the relay with a light tester and there is current going through them, I don't have a multimeter therefore cannot get the reading on them but none are...

Hell0, is there a way of changing the display from temperature to which gears the car is in? Was told its temperature by default but this could be changed? Any idea on that? Thank you. Olivier

Somebody remind me: what is the expected normal operating temperature range for an E320cdi? Throughout a 120 mile motorway journey last evening noticed temp. was hovering just below 80C. Pretty sure it used to be a higher and seem to have "lost" a couple of mpg.

Hi, With the recent hot weather I noticed that my car was getting hot when I was stationary in traffic. At times the needle would go between the 120 and the level below. If I turned on the heater the temperature would start to drop. I changed the thermostat to see if that would make a...

I've read a handful of threads that mention engine temperature for the 3222cc inline six diesel in my 2003 E320 CDI. I'm not clear whether I'm looking at a fault with my constantly below 80 degrees, or whether it's perfectly normal considering I drive fairly gently. I thought a quick poll on...

The temperature read out on my dash has suddenly started doing odd things. A few minutes after setting off, the temperature read out will drop by about 6C! Sometimes, it corrects itself, other times it will not. After doing a search through these forums, it would seem my temperature sensor is...

Just noticed the outside temp display on my '99 W208 is reading 50 degrees. Now it's nice out but it isn't that nice! Can anyone tell me where the sender is located for this?

The cold weather has caused the display to malfunction. it shows a blotchy area around the degree centigrade text if that makes sense. Can the display itself be replaced? Les
