The fan is pushing, in unison, with the engine fan. Until, I put the condenser on I never had any problems with the cooling of the engine. The fan clutch was probably already not working properly. It just did not matter until now.
Also, since the A/C was not installed. I had not really driven the car during this years 109 degree Texas summer (yes it was a rough one for us this year, ask Ali). If I had driven it I probably would had a problem then. Remember, the radiator of the 111 chassis is smaller than the 108 chassis but the engines are the same 130 model.

If you noticed the condenser, drier, hoses, wiring, relays, and the compressor are all new. The only original part if the interior unit which I feel has to be a match to the rest of the interior. Anything else would look like crap and that is not how I operate.
How can the original equipment be a weak link if everything has been tested and is in perfect working order?
As we all know most parts are still avalible OEM new. Now if my baby were a 68 Mustang or a Cadillac then yes I would agree that the old stuff would be the weak link and probaly cause problems. This is one of the reasons I love Mercedes. No one else comes close to their level quality and standards.
Sorry if I went a little off.
