OK Men Let's talk Heat:

1997 E300D w/ 119K on the clock

I have owned this car four months in Airizona.

Outside Air temp in April 80 F; temp gage at 80C

Outside Air Temp in July; 105 F; temp gage 85-90 C in combined highway and city driving.

If I park her with the A/C on in July she may raise to 95C and that is my story.

Great cooling system for such consistent results with very diverse air temps.

Have a Great Day!
