i have read your animated discussions on the cooling mod for the v8's including the ones with italianbenz. it appears that the v8 mod is accepted and valid, however there is some point of contention as to applicability to the 6 cylinder / E series platform. Jim and Arthur, I think your discussions proceeded on the premise that on the E series you would be looking at the low speed aux fan switch on the A/C drier. i believe that this switch is purely pressure activated and is not applicable. my thinking is that maybe you should look at the sensor on the thermostat housing which appears to be very similar to the one that Jim refers to as the CTS ("blue switch") in the v8. examining the thermostat housing in my 300E, i see that there are two other sensors, one alongside the "blue switch" and another one on the side of the housing. i would think that this "blue switch" that turns on a 35 amp circuit would not be used for engine management but i will leave that to the gurus. if the "blue switch" is indeed the same one as on the v8 then the mod ought to work on the 6 as well. i think this is the main premise behind guido's contention that it works on the E series as well as some other platforms that use this same sensor.

what do you say guys?

cheers

ps. Jim i see on your sig that you also have an E, can you check out what i am talking about?
