Mine always runs just a hair over the 80 mark. That doesn't sound normal.

My 2003 CLK55 runs between 80 and 100 all of the time, I don't get any lights or issues with it running in that range and I assumed it was the normal operating temp for the car. I did change the coolant and the oil the first week I had it so I could have a start point for my maintenance schedule.

There is another post on this where one person mentioned that the thermostat is set for 87 deg. C and that in traffic and hot weather 100 C is not unusual. See the thread here https://mbworld.org/forums/clk55-amg-clk63-amg-w208-w209/217007-clk55-running-hot.html

Hope this helps,
Bob
