cooling

Hi All, I'm hoping someone can help here, I'm at a bit of a dead end! I've got a OM606.962 that I fitted last winter into my defender canpervan. It's got a diesel pump uk 7.7mm pump and a few other goodies. In May we did 2000 miles around Scotland and it didn't miss a beat! Until the way...

Hi, I have S204, year 2010 and air-conditioning is working normally, cold-air is going through the vents and sometimes it just suddenly stops and no air is going out throught the vents. The air blower motor is working normally (it is also relatively new). When it is all ok, air condition is...

Hi folks, Hopefully, someone can help me. When I press the air recirculation button in my W204 (2008 C-Class), it does not seem to activate the air recirculation, and the red light definitely does not come on. Please let me know what you think may be the problem and possible solutions.

Hello! I hope you all have a happy new year! I have (W203 C230 Sport 2007 V6 M272). I changed the engine oil + filter three weeks ago. The car takes 8L and I applied precisely 8L. After two weeks, I noticed: Some oil in the coolant reservoir Some steam smoke from the hood of the car where the...

My trusty c220cdi auto has over 280,0000 on the clock so I shouldn't be too surpised or grumble that the header tank has sprung a leak and needs replacing. Any suggestions as to the hose clip and pliers type I'll need to wrangle it off?

Hi all. Apologies for my first post being such a long one but I am hoping somebody on here may be able to help me with the latest problem on my car. It is a 2010 E350 CDi Estate and i have an issue with the cooling fan. I have been through all the other cooling fan posts on here but can’t find...

Hi this summer is proving to be a sizzler!! and so it seems is my Engine ECU and gearbox ECU When the vans running they are both getting very hot!! Can barely hold on to them .. I can't believe they are ment to get this hot? They have no heat transfer fins built into their cases and i don't see...

Hi I am wondering if its possible to fit the new late 2008 type compressor onto a 2007 model S500. My local guy says yes but I know the clutch is different. I also remember when you carry out the telematic update you have to tick which type of compressor is installed. Anyone have this issue?

Hi all, I'm sometimes noticing that the radiator cooling fan is running at the end of a run when I wouldn't expect it. I don't know whether it's running throughout - I just notice it as I slow enough to hear/notice it. This has been on perfectly normal warm-ish days (16-18 degrees C) with...

Hi I've a W212 2012 E220CDI Automatic Estate , and we're looking to tow a caravan max laden weight of 1500kg (just under the 85% kerbweight). Max towing limit for this car is 2100kg according to the manual. I'm getting an aftermarket towbar, but asked Merc if any additional cooling was...

Hi All, Im new to this so please bear with me. Mercedes W203 2001 C180 Classic Recently the cooling fan came on when the car was started and comes on every time the car is started and doesn't stop till its switched off. I have had the car checked by a garage and they changed the fan & the...

I am having trouble with over heating when stalled. I have read some post regarding the same problem, and the solution seems to be the thermo switch on top of the engine (2 pin red connector). My problem is that when I short the wires (to test if the magnet fan is working ) the fuse blows. Is...

Hi there, it's me again. Still with the same problem. I have a W220 S430 1999 model and a "Coolant System - Visit Workshop" warning message appears on my console dash and the temperature climbs up as high as 100c. I've asked the forum for advice a while ago and was advised to check the Fan Unit...

Has anyone changed a thermostat and/or Temperature on A Class A150 W169 2005 on series and can advise on the job DIY please? Have noticed that the tepmerature is not always going as high as it used to to what used to be a standard reading after a short distance, wonder if the stat is sometimes...

My car is a 1999 W202 C200 and I'm confused as to whether my radiator cooling fan module is working properly or not. Last week on a warm sunny day, stuck in town traffic I got the feeling that my temp gauge needle had crept a little higher than normal with no effort from my cooling fan. Back...

Hi bit confused about my 300TD cooling.... never had a Diesel before so not sure what's normal! Car seems to take forever to warm up compared to my 230TE! Tested the coolant sensor, seems fine so I'm going to replace the thermostat, although apparently it was replaced a couple of years...

Hello i am not sure if i am in the correct forum but i hope someone can help. My fan was not working and the car overheated if running at a stand still. I tested bridged the connection on the thermo switch with the ignition on and the clutch engaged. however whilst doing this i noticed 2 pipes...

My first Merc is a 1997 C180, had it about a week now and in general all is well with it, it's been a bit neglected previously and i have fixed a small number of minor faults. I have covered about 500 miles in it and it cruises up the motorway just fine, temp gauge sits about 80 or just...
