hi,I have a mercedes 300ce24,1992,done 121000km,and when the engine temperature riches 90 degrees C,it is loosing power and specialy on a start from 0, I have to push the accelerator more than usual.It gets worse if the ac is working,and also in the traffic,where I stop and go more often.I leave in a desert where the temperatures and humidity is very high.Is there something I can do to fix the problem?In the local garages they do not see anything wrong,but I drive it and see the diffrence when is normal(at night).Regards.

you can change the thermastat to a lower one, when you do flush the system, there are also after market transmissions coolers that you could put on, that would keep it cooler.
