Thanks again to every one who tried to help..

Engine temp measured where? At the stat or the top rad hose?
So... Which sender is correct? Just because the old one indicates a number you "feel" is more accurate, does not make it so... It amazes me how many owners of MB get so concerned about engine temp as it approaches 100C... Chill Out, guys (pun intended)... Are the engine temps of diesels that much different from gassers?
