Watch the engine temp. If it likes to creep up especially at idle it could be a worn out clutch. Watch the video below for more explanation.
This fits all Mercedes V8 engines listed in the title from 1981 to 1991 including the sedans, the SL and SEC models. I compare fan clutches to shock absorbers. They wear out slowly over time and you don't feel or see the difference until you actually replace it with new.
