Default Hi there!

Just signed in. Really want to be expert in here.

I've been modifying my 190d but it got some problems before finishing it.
My Mercedes 190d radiator has not been good since last week, it easily overheats and can't use it anytime I want because dad told me that it should rest or I should have to fix it up first before having it on the road again. It's just that I don't know how to take good care of it, maybe that's the reason.

Another thing, can you give me an idea where I can get some Mercedes parts? For I can look for parts and accessories which I can stuck there in a cheaper price.

Under any circumstance do not drive your 190D around if it overheats! Trust me, I did andgot slapped with a $4,300 bill for a new engine.

Talk to me about when it overheats. Does it only occur when it's at an idle like in traffic, highway speeds or does it always overheat no matter what the speed? A starting point would be to replace the thermostat first. Usually that will go bad before anything else and it's a cheap $15 fix if it is that.
