have you checked the coolant level? is the car running hot. you might need to add coolant and use the recommended MB coolant. if the coolant level is fine then check your thermostat, it might not be opening

keep the cap off the coolant reservoir and let it run for awhile.

The thermostat should fail open.

If the engine is not running hot it may be caused by faulty sensors. Check for codes .

Yesterday i noticed that the air tempture inside was blowing warm and whould not blow hot, so that leads to one thing, the thermostat. i guess it keeps sticking or its closed like phister said.

I got a new thermostat from MB dealer, and a new temp sensor. I also borrowed a snap-on air bleeder tool for the coolant. I will be fixing it tonight, hope it works.

If that doesnt work , how many miles do you have ? I replaced my waterpump with an oem part , 505 with new thermostat for an indie mechanic to do it .
