My 210 has been darn close to the 100*C mark at idle recently - then right back down to the 80+ when moving - even after replacing the electric fan belt.

Rick,

Did you ever replace the fan clutch? My fan spins pretty freely when the engine is cold and is tight when the engine is warm.

Lightman,

Any resolution to the "too hot" issue?

I do not have any debris in front of the radiator. The radiator has only had MB coolant with regular changes.
