Mine always runs just a hair over the 80 mark. That doesn't sound normal.

My 2003 CLK55 runs between 80 and 100 all of the time, I don't get any lights or issues with it running in that range and I assumed it was the normal operating temp for the car. I did change the coolant and the oil the first week I had it so I could have a start point for my maintenance schedule.

There is another post on this where one person mentioned that the thermostat is set for 87 deg. C and that in traffic and hot weather 100 C is not unusual. See the thread here CLK55 running hot

Hope this helps,
Bob

I aksed another guy form thsi firum who ahd the same issues, he said he took it to the dealer and they said it was fine and its pretty normal for amg engines to run hotter,

I guess its fine, to be hoesnt I dont have any problems just that it says 100 degrees.
