Hi Guys,
New to the club and to Mercedes in general but have now got a 98 SLK230, I'm not sure if this is a problem but would like someone to put my mind at rest,
The FAN, It sometimes comes on literally minutes after it's gone off, If I'm sat at the lights then I hear it come on, after pulling away the gauge needle will go back up and the temp will read 380, the temp has never moved away from 380, but then shortly after it's stopped it will come back on again,
It justseems to me that it's coming on alot more than it usually would or should ???,
Anyone have any ideas ? or is this normal ?
By the way I do live in Spain and yes it's hot , but i'm not there alot of the time, I purchased the car in March when it's quite cool and it was happening then.
Thanks
Shane
