[diesel_mercedes] Re: 300 TD over the Tehachapis with very even temp. New Radiator a

 

As you know the gauge is aprox.  I have a 180 degree thermostat I think.  What ever is stock.  It moved two needle widths up uphill and 6 down hills.  That's all I can say.  Now this is December.  It may be different in July. My air cleaner did get road dirt on it so I need to put in a shroud to cover the gap on the drivers side of the radiator.  Price of the radiator was around 155 with free shipping from ArizonaAZ.  Lawrence Rhodes

Glad you made it and are happy .

What temp. did the gauge read going up the hills ? .

If any of you were having trouble getting a radiator for your pre 81 TD's it seems the 240D Nissans work OK.  I installed mine with a little trouble.....Can one get longer shroud clips?  Passenger side air gap.  Otherwise it seemed to have more even heat than my former older radiator. It did go as cold but not as hot. Didn't replace thermostat. Home in SF now but can't sleep as I drank two Rockstars.  I left Placentia around 9 and got to my house at 4:30am.  .....Good night.....it also seems all radiators for W123's are very similar and all sizes fit one body.  Lawrence Rhodes.....
