Happy Holidays everyone, Here's a real message about a Mercedes as opposed to more offers for Prada, Rolexes and whatever!
My old 240 has developed an issue where its temperature goes up much higher than it used to -- not overheating, but up to about 210 degrees Fahrenheit or so at times, though sometimes it will go back to normal at about 180. The system holds pressure just fine (no leaks) and the coolant level is full. I tried replacing the thermostat but there was no change.
I did discover the electric cooling fan is not working, though I don't think it ever has (I ran 12V directly to it and no go so I assume the motor is bad). Also, this happens even in cool weather at constant speed so I doubt it would be caused by the fan not coming on.
Any thoughts on what to try next or suspicions as to what might be wrong?
Also, anybody know where I can get just a motor for the cooling fan?
Thanks! Steve
