Mine no longer kicks in. I too thought it was oil filled until I replaced the water pump and saw the coil.
But, it runs cool since replacing the water pump and the electric fan kicks in the stop and go. I would like to get the main fan going again or next summer.
I suspect there is a fan relay somewhere and more than likely that would fail rather the the energize coil on the fan. Sound good?

it is the relay that makes your fan kick in that fails... should be easy to fix. My previous (non MB) cars all had something similar. One of them (a heavily tuned up Fiat Cinquecento) once fogged up the parking lot while idling hot.
