V8 Overheating

[kutz]

Had almost the same problem got a transmissino service at Mercedes dealer and now it's a lot less.
I have read that these transmissions are only for about 140,000 km. Let's hope that's untrue.

my trans has been serviced about four months ago with no change to how it acts. Did the filter, drained the converter the whole bit.

on the overheating note, i think i will buy a cool harness and then save my money to replace the VFC. That should keep it undercontrol.... I HOpe

well i managed to get a trade price on a VFC and so ordered it today. mine was around the $300 mark and will take about an hour to fir aparantly. will still order the cool harness as well, i think its a really good idea. Thanks again guys for the advice, I hope all my fellow W140 friends have a great christmas!!

I contacted the fellow selling the cool harness and since I am new to MB I asked him several questions and he got down right nasty and rude...don't know why he was such a jerk but as a Christian, none of my messages were meant to disrespect him....so I continue on with my search for a car that doesn't overheat. I posted in another thread what I have tried so far.
