Typical CLK-320 Running Temp?
I have an '02 CLK-320 cab and it appears to run about 10 degrees hotter than my '00 E-320. Basically on the E the temp needle sits mid to upper portion of the "8" (in the 80 mark on the temp gauge), while the CLK often runs with the temp at the high point of the "8" to slightly just above the "8". I wonder if this simply an acceptable tolerance in the differences of the vehicles or do I need to have this looked at by the dealer?
If anyone else could let me know what their CLK's run at re: the temperature range it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John R.

Thank You
Nice to hear from you folks. Just odd that the same engine runs in two slightly different ranges. Perhaps due to the underhood packaging and being tighter in the CLK vs. the E? Anyway, thanks again, you have to love the boards for the information from knowledgable folks....

2002 CLK 55 AMG Coupe ;)
Same here: low 80s C to low 90s C.
Lucky us MB buffs.
My 2001 vette ran up to 230F = normal.
However, with 100 F outside temps in S. Florida, my eyes were glued on the
analog & digital temp gauges, - always!
Thank god, heat is not an issue with the AMG
