Running Hot?
Hi All,
I bought a 1991 500SL about a month ago, and I've been noticing that the temperature dash gauge is what I would call a bit high -- I'm used to my old w123's gauge that would--without fail--always be smack in the middle. Does the engine just run a bit hot, or is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks all in advance for your knowledge!

Check your viscous fan is operating correctly, see here for some info:fan clutch?
How hot? Mine never gets above 85degC

I watched it today while I was driving to lunch, and it seems to stay in the middle between 80 and 120
