Last couple days I been having trouble with my 1998 C280 Sport, first my fan clutch was going bad so I had it replaced with a new one. Come to find out I had bought the wrong fan clutch but on ebay (paid $23.00) was stated to fit my car. So mechanic advised me to purchase the original part which was $200, I told him that I would get back to him about it since the part was so expensive. So I picked my car up from him and the fan on the motor was shorter than it was from the fan clutch so I had to tie a twist tie around the upper radiator hose so fan would cut the hose but it did so my coolant started spraying out make a long story short went and bought a new hose from dealership and replace it, after that engine started overheating seen it need coolant so i added some in it. Next day wasnt overheating anymore and didnt show on temp gauge that it was around 80c or just a lil bit over it. So im driving down the street and car shuts off on me and loses power hoping my engine didnt blow on me but car continued to crank up but when i put it in drive it shuts off anybody had this problem?
