It could be a number of reasons, but start with the simple ones first. Maybe the thermostat ? , remove it from its housing and place it in a pan of cold water on the stove. Turn on the heat on a low light and see if it opens as the water gets hot. If no movement as it reaches boiling point it needs to be replaced.

My 2001 Mercedes Benz ML430 heat up when it does I turn the car off get hot heat it gets cooler what do you think the problem could be I change the thermostat and the water pump is ok

Or a Air pocket, it happens when you fill coolant to fast, run the car with coolant cap off to see if is going down, your thermostat required to reach a certain temperature to open up..hope this helps before you go spend a bunch a money, it could as simple ad bleeding the coolant system..

MY CAR OVER HEATS. I CHANGED THE WATER PUMP BUT IT STILL GETS HOT. THE WATER ALSO LOOKS VERY DARK

possible causes and solutions to your problem:

1. leaks in the radiator / water hoses. have a radiator expert check your cooling system. water hoses are quite easy to replace. some would recommend replacing your radiator, some will suggest have it overhauled. if the price is almost the same, the go with the new radiator.
2. busted head gasket. this problem is not that serious, but needs immediate attention. due to blown head gasket, some oil and water that is circulating around your cylinder head will mix, thus the dark color of your water
3. cracks in the cylinder head. now this is a serious problem. have your cylinder head checked immediately. solution here varies from resurfacing to re-bore and re-sleeving of combustion chamber.

WHAT IS THE PART CALLED THAT CIRCULATES HEAT FROM THE RADIATOR INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF A 1998 MB S420. IT HAS THREE ALUMINUN CYLINDERS ABOUT 2"TALL AND 1/4" IN DIAMETER

Hi:
I am pretty sure you are asking about a part called the heater core.

It is what gets hot ,and your fan blows across it, providing heating and defrost.

My 1994 Mercedes E class 300 Diesel there is no heat

Check your fuses first.Does the temperature gauge read normal operating temperature (at least 80 degrees Celsius) if not replace your thermostat.  Does the car have any heat while driving at higher RPM's? If so then you have a bad circulation pump. There is also a hot water valve (mono valve) that could be stuck in the closed position and not letting any hot water flow to the heater core.
