Re: [diesel_mercedes] Overheating 300sd

 

Replacing radiator is a piece of cake. I found an almost new one (Nissin) in a PAP, but I had alreay put in a new Behr from Autohaus. Flush your motor and pipes at the same time. I think I posted pics under ?Brians new radiator? You can do it. My overheating is a thing of the past. I am dead on 83C (or 175F)

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
