1993 230E IN AMAZING CONDITION 150k MILES.Just Bought This Car. Great On Motorway On Way Home But As Soon As I Hit Heavy Traffic And Traffic Lights It Started To Overheat. I Stopped The Engine When It Reached Over 100 Degrees And Some Steam And Overflow Appeared. Left It 5 Minutes, Then I Was Able To Drive It Home (2 Miles) With No Further Overheating.
Have Just Done The Carrot Test At 90 Degrees And It Stopped The Fan Blades - Did Not Slice The Carrot. I Suspect Fan Clutch But I Cannot Tell If It Is A Viscous Fan Or Electromagnetic But I Did Notice There Was A Small Connection Block On The Engine With Red And Green Wires.
I Wondered If I Should Simply Fit A Kenlow Type Fan For £95 Since I Do Not Think I Could Tackle Removal And Refitting Of Fan Clutch And This Would Cost Me About £95 Plus Fitting Costs.
Hope Someone Can Help
