Aux fans.

Around what degrees celcius do the auxiliary fans usually come on at?

On my 90 300CE, they kick in at or just below 80 on the temp gauge.


Good Luck,

Jayare

you can hear the fans

Are you sure the fans run at 80 degrees? I can hear the fans switch on and off. They NEVER run at that low of a temp, usually well above 80 and for me that has only happened a few times. Sometimes while stopped in traffic or at the coffee drive-thru (the only 2 times I ever stop w/ motor running ) otherwise it is rare. Are you sure the fans are switching on?

the fans on my 92 300e turn on around 80 just like JayAre, but on my 95 e320, they turn on around 100 like YNVDIZW124...Maybe the fans have a certain starting point for each car and is different because of year and engine?

nah, I would understand why this happens when the ac is on, but no, this happens without it on.
