Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / September 2004TEMPERATURE QUESTION
I Have a 1989 560 SEL. My temperature gauge always (when engine is up to operating temp.) reads above 80 C. I wonder if this is normal. I had the radiator flushed in Jan. of this year. Along with the thermostat. Am I at the right operating temperature? TIA, Bill My 2001 E430 always reads above 80.......usually 85-90. Every loaner car I have ever driven (usually E320's) has run in the same range (85-90).....so readings above 80 are normal. > I Have a 1989 560 SEL.

I was too, until the dealer assured me that that was very normal and I proved it to myself by driving several other models and they all ran above the middle of the temp guage. The new models don't even have a temp guage....they replaced it with an analog clock.......a step DOWN, in my opinion. > What does BG want? Temp of ice? > > ;-) > DAS |
