I've checked it at temps down to 17F - it doesn't get very cold too often
here in central Va --
it always warms up consistantly in the same distance we drive it slowly
during the 1st . right after we bought it I replaced the T Stat, flushed
the rad and it's worked perfectly ever since. I also leave the ACC on one
temp year around - that allows the ACC to work as it'd designed - flaps
move, liquids flow, fans run at different speeds, etc - all working to allow
the ACC system to operate as designed. When it's manipulated manually to
make it perform such that the flaps stay in one position, the fan turns at
one speed, etc things end to stick & fail. All that is from the W124
Bible -

I wonder if your thermostat is working properly?. My 91 300D is at oper
temp after a 1/2 mile. Its one of the things I really like about it --
In summer, my 300SD (OM617) is up to temp in a couple of miles (maybe
three minutes).
If the engine were really cold, and the intake air was at freezing temps,
I bet it would take a lot longer.
