Hello,
My 1985 W123 230e seems to have developed a problem with the cooling system. A week or so ago, I noticed that the fan hadn't kicked in at around 90-95 as per normal. The temperature rose to about 100 and thankfully I was able to park and allow for it to cool. I browsed through previous posts on here related to W123 cooling issues and after shorting the connection (at which point the fan kicked in), seemed to zero in on the temp switch as the likely problem. I have now bought a new switch from Mercedes but it looks like that hasn't solved the problem as the fan still isn't kicking in. Any ideas please??
