Hello,
I have a 1982 Mercedes Benz Turbo Diesel that is overheating.
the coolant disappears at a very nimble rate, BUT there doesn't appear to be a leak in any of the hoses. My clutch for the fan was broken and that was fixed/replaced.
Also, there is importantly pressurized steam that comes out from teh coolant container when the car runs (another indication that i don't think i have a leak in a hose somewhere).
I memories it might be a problem with the thermostat, but upon examination saw that it was not there...also, the coolant is not to flowing (when i started the car with the thermostat casing off, there was a spot where coolant was exposed and only sitting there, and (depending upon the direction of flow) theoretically should have shot outward or been sucked inward. it only just sat there. this is when we thought it might be a problem with the water pump, however the water pump seems fine.
it does not appear to have any indications of a blown or cracked perceptiveness gasket (no water/coolant in the oil, no milky appearance,etc). i'm stumped. i don't know.
even without a thermostat, shouldn't the coolant overflow? or do i absolutely have to have a thermostat? where is the coolant disappearing to? is there something i might be overlooking?
any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Girlfriend was driving it and it swiftly quit, almost like it ran out of fuel. Car turns over like it wants to start but seems to not be getting any fuel. Inflame filter seems clear and clean,I just find it odd it did it while traveling on the road. Any advice experts?
You mentioned the inline inflame filter looks clean (it's only actually a pre-filter to screen out larger particles. The spin-on refine is the main fuel filter) but it actually getting fuel though?

Sprinter Returns To The Mercedes Fold | The Truth About Cars
Mercedes must bury the hatchet e construct this type of care the first year in their sales office catapult in North America. They are already putting engines in everything from Freightliners Metro buses, might as well start putting on those fake chassis they use in the trucking Euro.
Daydreaming, I understand. I have a passion for F1 carriers, many naturalized to be (yet?) Trucks Mercedes. And I also evaluate marred together for someone other than Freightliner (with their Argosy) to have a seat at the cabin minutes connecting flight within the U.S. market.On the packaging, maneuverability, and Aegis (spots pretext) position, the COE models introduced collect more than stretched "outdated" trucks that overlook the road today.
In any case, it must be distinguished from the Sprinter is a relatively poor reputation among the lot owner accelerated van operators because of its tour on living expenses. The old Ford Econoline / Chevy Clear policy seems to mind a great change was noted, but no marks for relief (these guys sleep in their truck load to cry thunder) that Mercedes / Duck / Freightliner Sprinter subjects....

Mercedes 190D BlueEFFICIENCY: de toekomst? | GroenLicht | AutoNieuws
by MRM
Typical quietness and minutia under the bonnet of the W 201.
But the next puzzler was not protracted in coming: for the car to work as it should, the electronics required ABS signals. Turning wheels cannot be du-plicated even on a understood assay bench, however, so once again the electronics specialists were called for – and now the ABS signals are besides simulated.
“The driving experience is very unsurpassed”, Lehmann enthuses. “The novel diesel is hands down proficient to make do with the 190. This height of brawny torque was really unimaginable at the in good time always, in the same the amazingly low nourish consump-tion.”
There were other things beyond the wildest dreams of the engineers devel-oping the W 201 at the end of the ’70s, for warning the digital speedometer or four-direct ABS. “With its uncluttered composition, the 190 appears endless and drives very well indeed. Nonetheless the applied enlarge made in automobile engineering over the last three decades was our unalterable com-panion during the conversion m”, Lehmann concludes.
