Hi Art, Just wondering if you still have your 97 E320? I have the same vehicle, owned since 99. I am at 154k. I am starting to experience some of the issues You probably allready experienced. Wanted to know if I can consult with you?
If so, I am having a rising temp problem,,, was told with uncertainty (twice) that I need to rplace the radiator. I purchased one but I am thinking that I should to repl the thermostat first? I was also told to replace the aux fans since they run all the time. However, they do not come on continuosly, until after the temp goes up to around 90-something and once the car is turned off they go off. To me It sounds as if the temp was driving the fan action. But maybe I can get lucky and the thermostat can solve all of the above. The dealer wants me to of course, replace all most everything for a rediculous amount of money.
