Running hot

Asked by GuruH1D2Z Jul 23, 2019 at 12:05 PM about the 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK 430 Coupe

Question type: General

How many cooling fans does a 2000 clk430
have. I have 3 . 2 in front of my radiator and 1
attached to a pulley.  The all work but still if I
let the car idle longer then 10 mins it starts to
run hot and dont think it should be running as
hot as it is as it gets almost into the red

1 Answer

3,295

regardless of the number of fans, a 10 minute idle should not move the needle significantly. Have the radiator flow tested by a good radiator shop, it may be sludged up.
