Re: [diesel_mercedes] Overheating 300sd

 

Chuck,
my 300SD ran hot until I realized that the fan/thermostat was not working properly.

The overheating was caused by the heater hoses splitting, cracking, breaking, etc.  Anyway new hoses, and back on the road at a cost of 300 plus 70 for 2 day rental car. Mechanic says it is still running hot because it has buildup in the radiator.

So before I shell out 3-400 for a new radiator, any quick tips, magical cures?  I may just replace the radiator, it may be the original one.

Thanks
