Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.
Since its founding in late 2008, 500Eboard has become the leading resource on the Internet for all things related to the Mercedes-Benz 500E and E500. In recent years, we have also expanded to include the 400E and E420 models, which are directly related to the 500E/E500.
We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site. If you find helpful information, please register for full membership, and you'll find even more resources available. Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.

Sincerely,

Hi Dave!
Yes, I was a little surprised about that. I have a different cooler cap which opens at 1:00 bar instead of 1:50 for safety reasons. I once had a broken hose, which I blame to age and high pressure at very high load (temp was higher but ok). I also run the coolant level on minimum. There is a lot of coolant in the engine (11 litres) and if you calculate the volume gain from 20 degree C to 100 C, the volume of the reservoir must be to small to cover that without a build up of high pressure. There must be a volume gain of almost one litre.
I could not explain why, but maybe this is a part of the „good“ temp.
