I read about running it w cap off & hot defrost on to let air out.\

I'll have the radiator flushed & MB coolant

I want to change all fluids to give it a good baseline

Was just hoping to get all redords for car but its possible I may not get them so just have to try to figure it out.

Maybe air
maybe needs some use
Maybe since its a Euro
& esp since its gor smog restriction
100 110 is what it runs at.

Just don't want it to redline
It did before the thermo change
& it got real close to 115 after the repair on the drive home
but maybe that could be air & old coolant...

Thanks will try to get air out if it has...

PS yes it does have a fan on both sides of radiator
looks to be another cooling panel in front of radiator guess thats for the AC & there is a fan in front

The fan in the rear was operating at idle
