Great, got water pump replaced 2 weeks ago (see attached thread), new belt, hoses, mb clear fluid...
Observations since then:
1. Temp hovers towards 100 c (not over 100c vs closer to the previous 80 with the original pump. While 100c seems ok, it is operating hotter than before.
2. Fluid seems to be down about an inch

. Hasn't gone down further. I don't know if it just went down to that level and I should just let it be or there's still a problem.
Any ideas? I don't want to spend another $$ on another gallon of MB fluid to refill if I dont' have to.
The temp issue, I assume the original MB one performs better than this Laso(>?) one...
