[W126 Coupe] heat problem

[Bruce Mendel]

Have you checked the operation of the thermostat and the auxiliary cooling fan? I would check those prior to doing anything else.

   hi all 
   i seem to be having a heat problem  the temp gauge  seems to creep up to the line before actually a little past the third mark ) this is when i stop driving as i swear this is the critical meltdown  point '
   i have replaced  the clutch  and last year changed the thermodore 
   it was the end of air cond season so i was not able tell  if it was  fixed or not 
   now  it  it is creeping up to the warmer side

   my question is  because  i an not loosing any coolant 
   i am looking to  replace the radiator next . i see that a company called nissans has a replacement unit that does not have a reinforced neck but is made of fiberglass and plastic and is supposed to be 30 % stronger than stock 
   my question is...... am i safe using the nissans unit or should i use the behr unit .... because both are sold by  Rusty so i know i am dealing with good stuff
   what should i do
