1991 300SE 174,575
I bought this car about three months ago. I noticed it was low on coolant and topped it off. I did some routine maintenance on it, oil, Trans filter and fluid, power steering filter and flush. The car runs between 80 and 100 on the temp gauge except when it idles at a stop light after running at highway speeds then it jumps a bit. I noticed oil in the coolant reservoir about two weeks ago. The limited service history I have shows no head work being done. I plan on doing a valve job and water pump when I change the head gasket in the near future. I love this car and hopefully I can get it up to snuff with a little more elbow grease and continue to drive it for a long time to come. PS I bought a "Parts Car" that runs better than the one I'm driving just needs some TLC. I will post results when I finish the head gasket project.
