1982 300D Engine Temp
I just replaced the radiator on my car due to a split in the top tank. That job was not bad at all, thanks to TangoFox and Jimmy's input. There was no need to remove the fan and shroud at all.
I have an 84c t-stat. It was either that or a 90c one.
My car, from day one of ownership ran at 90c, during the summer running the a/c or not. I have owned the car for 5 years. With the radiator replacement, it still runs at 90c. I even removed the t-stat, and is still runs at 90c. When idling and the a/c on, it will creep up to 100c, and drop back down when traffic begins to move.
There is no oil in the cooling system. Water pump was replaced a few years ago.
I see lots of people saying thier cars run at 80c.
Is this normal?
Thanks!!!
