Why is my Mercedes overheating?
The most frequent cause of engine overheating is an issue with coolant. Other causes of engine overheating include problems with the thermostat, water pump, or radiator itself. For example, the radiator may be damaged or there may be an issue with the fan on the radiator.
What should the temp be on a Mercedes Benz?
The gauge should register 90C and shouldn’t vary regardless of outside temp or load. If the gauge varies noticeably then either the thermostat is defective or the sensor is defective. If you still have warranty get it checked.
Why does my Mercedes-Benz radiator temperature gauge not work?
Its either the thermo opening or air moving across the radiator. Most all cars run cooler radiator temps underway than in traffic. Thats good, the gauge actually works, unlike my POS Land Rover that wont budge a mm between 180-235F :banghead: The gauge should register 90C and shouldn’t vary regardless of outside temp or load.
What should the engine temp be when the engine is hot?
I think my engine temperature gauge is now at a different position when the engine is hot then where it had been for the last three years. I thought it used to hang out just below the gauge mid point (around 70 C). But now when hot it moves to 90 C.

Why does my Mercedes Benz engine run hotter than normal?
It could be stuck such that the engine takes a long time or never actually reaches normal operating temp when the ambient air temperature is cold and the engine runs hotter than normal or even overheats when the air temperature is hot. Some normal fluctuation is normal. That’s why there are auxiliary electric cooling fans on radiators.
