As in coolant circulating pump? Yes. My question arises due to the difference in engine temperature (gauge) behavior, not in how quickly heat is produced in the passenger compartment.
I'm suspicious of my t-stat, but I'd like confirmation from some other owners that long warm-up compared to a OM603 turbo is normal. -Max ________________________________ From: Gerry Archer <arche...@embarqmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Mon, February 7, 2011 10:11:20 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] '95 E300 with OM606 - how long to reach operating temp?
