Hello All.
Being in one of the hottest places on this planet, I thought I'd share this with you:
Hot, isn't it?
I'm not complaining, I'm completely fine with it. Actually, I'm even convinced that it is completely normal and in the way it was meant to be.
A/C was ice cold on the highway and more than acceptable in full stop if on 3of4. On 4of4 (highest) however, it loses its cooling a little after a short while.
Every year a couple of days get exceptionally hot reaching more than 50C (122F). That 49C on the pic is 120.2F and it was like 5pm, not 12 or 1pm.
Coolant is close to 100C (212F) and it does actually reach it some times if the A/C is on high while city driving. In fact, normal temp after fully worming up, is still close to that (almost exactly on the middle) and a little below that at lowest driving conditions. It would never go lower than 87C (188F) because I'm using the original coolant thermostat rated 87C.
Two years ago in the Central Area (Riyadh) it reached 60C (140C) and some people had sunstroke.
I wonder how true readings would be on other cars with dummy coolant temp gauges, specially those Japanese and Korean ones.
I love my MB :thumbsup:
