190E - '91, 2.3 - overheating
I just bought a used car: '91 190E. it has 160K miles on it.
I noticed that engine is overheating. It would reach little bit aboove 100 after driveing about 15 minutes. I turn on the heater at full speed to avoid the damage.
I also noticed that the cooling fan (next to the radiator) is on all the time. it is running at very low speed however.
I replaced a new thermostat. but problem is same. there seems to be no loss of coolant.
What should I do? Any suggestions?

Several folks have, it could be the radiator, temp sending unit on the block near the back or the clutch fan. Do a search for cooling harness (allows fans to come on early) and 190e Forums. There is a dedicated forum (190 revolution)just for that car that has plenty of technical advice.
good luck.
