Temperature too high

[junklar]

Hello everyone,

I've noticed the past couple of days that the temperature of my car is too high.. It goes near 120 mark when its 28 degrees outside.. and I dont think the fans kick in till 110.. what could be the cause of the car heating up when it didn't before?

I had that changed along with the head gaskets 4 months ago.. it goes up to 120 and then goes back down to 90..

what about your water pump?
Was it also replaced?

No it was not replaced

bad temp stat? just casue it was replaced doesn't mean its working correct.. can those stats on a mercedes be put in wrong or upside down?
