Whoopeee, my 2 weeks old (well.. relatively) E420 just went back to the selling dealer for A/C problems. They diagnosed it as a nonworking viscous fan clutch (the compressor cuts off). They gave me a loaner car.. a 1992 300D 2.5T

Nice car!

I was initially dissapointed at the condition of the car (dirty, rear view mirror is busted, the arm rest is falling off, the A/C doesnt work..) but damn.. it's a quiet diesel.

The car shifts so much smoother than my 300CD. It's much quieter, and more powerful too! I also like the turbo hiss

I like this car! Sometimes I wish I had bought an E300 Diesel instead but they're harder to find.

The brakes are not as good as the E420's but everything else feels the same. Except maybe for the malfunctioning A/C system.... it's pretty hot and humid outside.

The car has 188k mi. and runs like a champ!

One question though... the water temp is 100-103*C in traffic. The aux. fan does not come on either. I'm gonna check the relays' fuses.
