[W126 Coupe] OVER HEAT QUESTION

[Richard Hogarth]

DITTO!!!, 
Now that's the idea!
BTW - IR temp meters are barely one hundred bucks. They come in handy winter
and summer for all of the home AC and heating systems.

Hi Mike:
 
The first step I would recommend is to borrow an IR temp meter and aim it at
the top of the thermostat housing and take several readings of both this
meter and your dash instrument gauge to determine the accuracy of the IC
gauge.

 hi all i have a 85 500 sec
 and with the air on and electrical fan on after a short while of driving
the temp gauge  goes to and slightly past the third line of the temp gauge(
when it does this i turn off the air and worry) it comes back down to
approx  less than half way  between the second line (normal?)??? ... now
here is the kicker ( oh boy) the gauges were repaired needeles removed( by a
person who shall remain nameless)  and may not be in the correct locations
.... so i dont know it the engine is actually getting wayyy too hot  how do
i know if it is a clogged rad or a bad fan clutch or nothing
how do i figgure this out????
