R 129 Coolant Temp Question
I have a 97 SL 500. 106k
My Coolant gauge shows a reading of between 80 and just under 100c at the top end. This is on expressway or surface streets with AC on and outside temps in the 80s.
Is this a normal range?
I have had new hoses, belt and pulleys and new coolant in the last few months. I believe the clutch may be original, but not sure.
If this is too high, where should I be looking?
Thanks.

All newer cars dont show the real temperatur. As long as the real temperatur is within a range, it shows always the same. At the R129 which showas the realy temperatur, a M119 should be behave like you can see at the picture above.
