[W126 Coupe] Temp gauge

[Mike R.]

Mine always stays at 80.C, never budges. Your car is broken!!

Just kidding. When Vegas gets upward of 100.F, the temp wanders up to 100.C, even with the dual electric fans. It very rarely goes over 100.C any more though, in town. Funny effect from the electric fans - there is a pretty good size plastic housing associated with the fans and when I'm over 70mph in the heat, the engine gets a little warmer (105-110.C) since the housing seems to block some air flow. As soon as I slow down, the temp drops back to normal.

Later,
Mike Ramay

  Hey Ramay,
       The northwest has had a couple of 100 degree days. My temp
  gauge usually runs just over the 80.C on everyday driving. Yesterday it
  moved up to the 100 C line. Everything working fine. Auxiliary fans working
  and air just fine. The question is in Vegas on those hot days, do you run
  in that area?

  B.C..
