recently returned from a trip to maine in the benz.Those of you that have looked and helped with some of my other dilemmas will remember that turbo function was an issue.after cleaning and gauging(boost) I narrowed it to boost pressure sensor and/or alda.boost sensor seemed to be the one,but I digress.after leaving from pittsburgh and driving for several hours I noticed that my engine temp was staying at about 82C.at one point when climbing a particularly long and steep hill,temp went to about 92C.recalled reading about adding fuel enrichment(alda) when turbo boost is high(@70mph pushing a steady 6# boost,when @80 pushing a steady 13# boost(installed hybrid boost mechanism-bearing with spring ) .anyway,after the alda adj my temp went back down to about 78C and stayed there no matter how big the hill or how long boost is "maxed"(14+ish#).drove all day several days in a row.car seems to run strong and with no dilemmas.what is the normal temp range for my 300D turbo.read a post about smeone changing their thermostat to a hotter one because they felt that their wvo was not getting enough heat.they were talking about temps in the low 90'sC.is my car running cold?does this mean/imply some problem that just has not surfaced yet!?
My a/c is non working,would this keep temps low?the car was loaded, girlfriend,dog and all associated camping gear for a week in the back country of maine.thank you for any and all assistance.
BTW-have not fixed center vent yet....
