What are the most common mechanical failures that cause overheating in Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars in Pakistan?

My E-Class recently overheated, and I’m trying to figure out the root cause. What are the most frequent mechanical failures — like thermostat issues, water pump failure, o r radiator leaks — that lead to engine overheating in these models? Are these problems more common due to local driving conditions o r maintenance habits?

Several mechanical failures can lead to overheating in Mercedes-Benz E-Class vehicles, and they tend to occur more frequently in regions like Pakistan due to heat, dust, and inconsistent maintenance. Common causes include:

Thermostat Failure: A stuck-closed thermostat prevents coolant circulation, leading to rapid overheating.

Water Pump Failure: A weak o r failing water pump can’t circulate coolant effectively, especially at high RPMs o r long trips.

Radiator Leaks o r Blockages: Leaks reduce coolant levels blockages reduce cooling efficiency.

Cracked Hoses o r Expansion Tank: With age and heat, rubber hoses and the coolant reservoir can crack and leak.

Head Gasket Failure: Prolonged overheating can cause head gasket damage, which then causes recurring overheating.

Recommendation:
Have a certified mechanic perform a full cooling system inspection if your E-Class has overheated. Early diagnosis can prevent serious engine damage.
