dear friends,

I have an 88 SL with 80k miles. its in excellenct condition and i just recently had all the filters and fluids changed.

but after driving her a few nights ago in the hot outside temps, i got really nervous, and i was wondering if im crazy or some of you out ther might share my concerns.


the car got hot, and it felt too hot. the temp gauge didnt go up to the redline, but the car just felt really hot, and the cooling fan was buzzing and it just felt like it wasnt normal.

do any of you out there feel like there SL's drive hotter? i dont know. i want to be able to drive my SL cause i really do love it, i just dont know if this is something that i need to get used too?
