Seems a bit low, I think your thermostat should start opening closer to 70C. My 190e, which seems to be operating properly, struggles to hit 70C in freezing weather, peaks out at about 75C on a hard freeway run. I think it uses a cooler thermostat than the 190D. > and oil pres pops right up to 3 and stays there. Good. The pressure relief valve is set about twice that high, so the gauge should always be pegged while driving down the road. Hot idle pressure should be between one and four bar. A new engine will peg the gauge at hot idle, and if it drops below one bar, something's quite worn. It's possible that your oil never gets hot if the engine is overcooling. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
