W124 m104 320 E
124 w104 320E Overheating and Lacks Power

Hi friends!

I am happy to join this platform and thank you all for accepting me.

I own a 124 model w104 engine 320E, formerly from UK but I now in Kenya, East Africa.

It had been down for almost 2 years after an accident that required replacement of: Oil pump; sump; fan shroud; radiator; grille; A/C condenser; A/C fan; A/C fan holder; valve cover gasket; and R.H.S indicator lamp.

When these were repaired recently, the vehicle started well but started overheating and losing power. It worsened and I have had to change the cylinder head, the head gasket, spark plugs, fan clutch, coils and suppressor plugs.

The lack of power and overheating persists even after the above parts have been changed.

I will be most appreciative for any advice on what I could do to restore this beautiful machine to its optimum performance and stop the overheating tendencies.
