Re: Over heating

[Jane McDaid <Murphys@ziplink.net>]

Mercedes Diesels (and maybe gassers) also use an electric water pump to
circulate water through the heater before the engine thermostat opens. This
way they can warm up the cabin before the coolant in the radiator even
begins to pass through the engine. The pumps are very reliable and small.
Could be a cheap junkyard item.
