Ya, on the 'overheating'. I would look at the actual temp as one factor using that 100c/212f as a high point and then also look at if the temp gauge is able to maintain whatever level it's at.
I had been seeing my gauge to read like just around that 85c. Then some stuff happened...
There was a coolant line that goes right over the oil filter housing leading to the heater core. Well, that blew out on the highway one day. So I clipped a piece of my draft tube and fit it in there. Then we were running real hot like 100c on almost straight water.
Flushed out the system, replaced coolant/water. Then we are back between that 85c and 100c. Always like 90-92c.
Also, now the heater core is leaking
Fucking mercedes benz. Anyhow, still runs at that 90-92c and never has to be topped off or anything like that.
Let's see what yours would do, keep an eye on your gauges and just look for things that are WAY out of wack. Then you know you're in a pickle
