Seniors pls how do I know if my car temperature is normal/okay since there's no temperature gauge like the regular Japanese vehicles?

What I've starting my car in the morning was +27°C but sometimes this afternoon it rose up to 40°C and then came down to +34°C and has been there for some time now on the dashboard.

Is this the way to check, if yes, at what temperature do I have to be worried??


Are you talking about the outside temperature or your engine temperature?

Engine temperature please

Engine temperature please

Navigate through your menu you will see temperature that should be before or after settings, that 32° is just outside temperature.
Just take your time and thank me later.

Engine temperature please

Navigate with the buttons on steering by your left hand side, so that it can lead you to odometer. Press either of the buttons where the yellow arrow is pointing until you get to odometer. Afterwards, press where the black arrow is pointing to display the temperature .

What a tiring process. So if car is overheating one will have to park and follow this process to be able to even detect?

Good day. I recently noticed my Engine Fan comes up on its own when the car is off and the key out of the ignition. It just comes on and goes off at interval. One times blows for a short time and some long before stopping. What could be the cause? Diagnosis isn’t showing. It only happens when the car is off and key out of the ignition.

I'm sure. It is automatically controlled. You will notice it normally do this whenever the engine is hot.

You must not park, you can navigate through while driving. If am on a long journey, I navigate to have my temperature displayed for me.

Pls let a competent rewire check your car and figure out the problem immediately, your battery is suffering ......

It's generally a solid car.

Make sure suspension is sound. Make sure engine is fine and transmission shifts properly. Scan with a high-end scanner.

Hello everyone. Is there a major difference between ML63 and ML500/550? Both are 2013 models.


Also 2015 E63 vs 2013 ML63/ML550, which will you pick? To be used in Lagos.

ml63 is the ///AMG variant of the Ml for that year.

The e63 is a sedan performance ///AMG variant, while the Ml63 is an SUV on its own, but an amg as well.
Go for the e63..
Not contestable

As the poster above mentioned, the ML63 is an AMG. Higher performance charactersitics. But to enjoy it long term, be prepared for a tedious maintenance routine. Otherwise, the 550 offers more than decent amount of power (over 400hp) with less hassles.

Depends on what your priorities are. . . Better ground clearance and off road capabilities vs Low profile , sportier driving.

E63 vs ML63
E550 vs ML550

Personally I prefer SUVs to Sedans, You are better prepared for floods and bad terrain without necessarily foregoing a sporty or fun driving experience. Sedans on the other hand will fall short when it comes to the former.

The 63 cars are AMGs.
The 550s are twin-turbo V8s.

I would go with a 550. Much cheaper maintenence while still having enough power.

This comment is outstanding from the others and in it lies the answer to the Op’s question.

Truly, there’s a huge difference between being knowledgeable and being intelligent.
If you search via Google to find the difference between both terms, then you’d surely know where you belong.
