After getting my SL500 back from repairs my coolant temperature still rises to 105 degrees once i have the A/C on. When the A/c is off it the temp creeps up to about 95 degrees. The coolant temperature only comes down after i go above speeds of 30mph+.
At 105 degrees my electric fans don't cut in but the viscous fan does. Normal driving on motorways, the temperature is at 85 degrees.
I have just had a new water pump, radiator and coupling fitted due to another problem! This has made no effect on the water temperature. The temperature never goes above 100-105 degrees but is this normal?
Done the carrot test and the new coupling does work. When are the electric fans meant to cut in?
The electric fans cut in at 85-90 degrees with AC on when the car is parked. But when the water temperature is above this they don't seem to cut in.
