Help im hot, 18 months ago I had a new radiator fitted to my 1991 300 GES, as it was getting hot. Now its getting hot again and it seems as if the rad is blocked again, cool in the middle. Anybody got any suggestions as to why this should be? or what the cause of the blockage could be. The car is fine apart from this. It uses a little more oil than I would expect. :?:

If its new from Merc's send it back, if its a re-core send it back, if its second hand, get a new one, or a re-core. Simple :!:

not sure was put in by garage... do you think this might be the problem? As I say the rad has gone from new to centre blocked/dysfunctional in 18 months! :cry:

it can happen, how many miles has it done since replacement. Use MB type 30 antifrezze and dilute 50%.
