Hello mate, Just to update you. I towed the car to my trusted engineer who usually services and mot's the car. Turns out that the leak wasn't even from the steering rack. Just one of the pipes leading down from the reservoir happened to be cracked. They ordered the parts from Mercedes (294...

That's why I'm suspicious, and will take it to the guys who usually service it for me. Judging where I personally think the leak comes from and even the RAC road assistant engineer, he felt that it was the lines from the hydraulic fluid reservoir instead of the power steering rack itself.

So I have to admit that what you're saying probably puts me at fault. We have a rather narrow car park and whenever I come home, I tend to obviously drive the car slowly but errr go thru the slow process of reversing the car into the parking space. Maybe all of those parking jobs have taken...

There was quite a bit of hydraulic fluid on the forecourt, but not like a massive amount. Mercedes sent the health check video and the bottom covers were covered in the fluid - you might well be right about it leaking over time. Saying that, I'm quite attentive and the car is usually parked in...

Hello mate, I was out for a normal smooth drive on the motorway. 100m from home, I pulled into the petrol station to refuel. After then trying to reverse out, the power steering failed. I definitely didn't hit anything and I haven't taken the car on any demanding roads for anything to hit it...

Hi everyone. RHD 2013 C63 Coupe with less than 50K miles on the clock. I lost power steering and then found out the hydraulic fluid reservoir to be empty. Took it to Mercedes and I've been told that the power steering rack is cracked so the 'power steering rack and lines' need replacing. The...

Hi all. I hope you're all keeping well. I have my B service coming up in a few months. The car had its full shebang A service last year (spark plugs, oil filter change, oil change, twin air filter change) . Just wanted to see if I've covered everything for the B services with you guys. I buy...

Thank you. Best to do it as you guys are advicing. Not worried about resale value, as it is unlikely I'll ever sell. But it is best to be consistent you say.

I just meant things like tyre wear etc, but the tyres are in great condition. Thanks, fella. You're right.

Thank you. Really useful. Money not the issue. Just I look after the car well and this question came to mind given the low mileage and circumstances. It's MOT is due on 20th July so I'll see if that recommends anything I've missed.

Hi all, I hope you're all keeping well and safe. Quick question. On 24th July of last year and at 39643 miles, I had the c63 (2013 reg) serviced - engine oil and filter, 2 x air filters, pollen filter, brake pads all round, BG fuel cleaner. Since last year, I've only done just over 2700...

Henman hill, corn hill, gypsy hill...! I didn't know that's what we were playing

Thanks! 300ml of wkd did the trick 👌

Thanks. Not taking chances so made sure none got on the ground etc. I got the blue mercedes brand antifreeze and on the back, the toxic warning is on there.

Thank you. Yes, I order the de-ionised water as well. I'd say that its about 1cm below the marker so I'll just do 50/50 and then check on it. Just in case its using more coolant than normal.

haha. It does look pretty appetising...if you were 12 or 13 😅

Just in case I'm colorblind...that is blue, right? I think like the engine oil, the dealer had put minimum engine oil and coolant! Definitely needs 200-300ml.

I'm not the original poster. I just asked my question on the thread, without creating another. thanks.

Very good point - need to check the colour. Yes it is. I suppose its because its Mercedes product.

Hi all, Am I OK to get this antifreeze for 2013 W204 C63? I was going to also get de-ionised water A. as its very cheap and B. I live in a hard water area...
