Hello,
I have a Benz 190 (Silver-padded 1991 Model).
I reside in Nigeria.
The Benz recently over-heated, the temp got to 120*C from the usual 40-60*C.
The Technician replaced the water pump, but now it stays at 80*C instead of the previous 40-60*C range.
Tech-guy says I need to change the top-cylinder gasket because he suspects that if it is the one that came with the Engine, it might have gotten thin and may cause d over-heating problem.
1. Will replacing the top-cylinder gasket have any effect on the temperature control?
2. An air-conditioning unit has been installed on the car (but it has been bad due to faulty compressor unit; and it didnt come with a factory-fitted a/c). What specification of Compressor (magnetic) can I use that will not have much pull on the engine when operated.
Thanks, and I love my Benz 190
Tony.
