overheating...still...fan clutch?? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be planetgong on  Wed Aug 30 16:58 CST 2006 [RELATED]

My 92 240 had a heater inlet hose go and the whole coolant system drained. Car over heated. Replaced hose. No more leaking of coolant but the car is still overheating. The car just "sounds" different then it did before the overheat.

I ran it about 10 minutes in the driveway with nothing bad happening, but noticed a noise either added or missing from the sound of the car. Sounds like it is running "slower". Took it for a spin around the block, it stalls out at a stop sign when I press the gas. No coolant leaking out and still coolant in the resivior. Engine overheated/almost did (engine temp gauge not operating)

The fan pretty much spins freely when engine is cold.

If it is this fan clutch thing is it going to be much harder then replacing a heater inlet coolant hose?
