Hi all
I have a weird issue with a MY2007 E320 CDI (V6) with 105k miles that I'm hoping someone can help with ?
It is getting up to temp very quickly from cold (within a couple of miles of gentle driving) and the radiator fan is then coming on permanently. The temp gauge doesn't go above 'normal' but the exhaust gases seem really hot and it smells very hot even after short journeys.
A local indy has had a look and gone as far as removing the DPF and exhausts and having them checked (they were fine) and are now stumped.
There are no fault codes, coolant levels are fine, and the engine is running smoothly with no loss of power but it's not normal... the thermostat and coolant was changed at the last service earlier this year.
Where else to look ?
Injectors / breather hose leak / something else ?
Any help would be appreciated as the next step is the main dealer who will take my pants down for what is essentially a £3k car.
