2011 G550 overheating

Good morning fellow G's!! So the wife and I traveled to Tuscaloosa this weekend for the Iron Bowl and my engine began to overheat while waiting at a drive thru. I dropped the G off at the dealership in Tuscaloosa Saturday morning to leave it as the service department doesn't work on the weekend. Here we are on a Tuesday and the stealership claims that they are still looking into the matter as the service folks are "learning the wiring diagram"!!! Glad to know that Mercedes knows their products!! I'm thinking about putting it on a flatbed to the dealership in Birmingham. (Much larger and knowledgeable) 80,000 miles on the clock. Frustrated in Alabama!! Roll Tide anyway!!

RE: 2011 G550 overheating

Does the 2011 have an electric engine fan?  I thought it was a standard hydraulic engine-driven fan.  In which case, the wiring diagram is going to be pretty useless.  Those fan clutches do go bad and aren't that hard to replace.

I'm not sure. I was told yesterday evening that they had ordered a new module to "see what was wrong with the vehicle". Fun times!!

Sounds like a place to run away from as fast as you can.
