560SL 1986

Had the radiator replaced last year and some other engine cooling work done.

The engine seems to be hot at time - on hot summer days.

In a parade last October - the 560SL drove at parade speeds for 1.5 hours, with Junior Class representative sitting in the back

By the time the parade was complete - the engine was over heating with white smoke (or steam) coming out the exhaust.

At highway speeds - all well, but in the traffic the car heats up.

The temperature gage will occasionally "bounce" that is jump up and down the range.

Thanks for the help.
