I can regularly sit in London traffic, recently on Friday for 2 hours slow traffic... and i can smell coolant... the gauge never rises and i have only had the "add...
Hello! Help!
I've got a 2L auto w202, and it's losing coolant. I don't see any leaks, but I go through around 5 litres a week, and there's oil in the radiator as well. However I don't see any coolant in the oil, and there's no white smoke which leads me to hope that it isn't the CHG. I've heard...
When I accelerate hard and then coast or slow down to normal speed my coolant temp seems to drop off on the gauge any help would be great
I've already changed the thermostat and changed the coolant switchover valve

Hi,
A couple of months ago I saw Check Coolant level message in dashboard. I checked the level and it was just right (leveled on the black body of the expansion tank. The message went away after that, then it came back again after couple of weeks. I checked again and the level was fine but I...
I had a warning come up asking me to top up coolant and a few days later the air conditioning has stopped working. I assume this is a sort of automatic switch off as protection?
What type of coolant should I use please?
Hey guys,
I have noticed a small coolant leak from the rubber hose between the air box to the top of the engine.
Model is 2011 c200cdi OM651.
Is this common? If so what is the fix.
Thanks in advance.
Will try and get a pic to show the hose
Hi Silly question Im sure but I'm replacing some rad hoses on my 307d so I thought I'd drain and replace the coolant at the same time. And as its an ancient LHD import I cannot find the information regarding what coolant would be compatible. I'd also save cash if an aftermarket brand would be ok...

Not due for another 5yrs. But is there any difficulty in d.i.y.
Like dropping the bottom hose off and a few flushes?
What needs to go back in for the next 15yrs protection?
About two months ago I did a long run 250 miles soon as I got home the coolant light came on. I topped it up took about 300ml us MB coolant.
A week later it was due a MOT and A1 service the garage stated the coolant strength was week, I told them about the top up. They replaced the coolant...
Hi folks. Just bought my first "modern" mercedes.

Now heres my issue.

As part of the Winter/Spring maintenance (vehicle is currently in hibernation) I'm going to replace the thermostat on the M113 engine together with a list of other things to do and I was thinking of proceeding with the cooling system flush and replacement.
What coolant should I be using? MB...
Hello all, I was wondering if someone can shed some light on this for me please? It is a 2011 E350 CDI 265. When the car is fully warmed up as such the coolant temp seems to fluctuate between 80 and anything up to 90ish. Mercedes are trying to sell me the usual that is normal story, but coming...
Hi folks
I had the coolant changed back in July however when I did my alternator I lost quite. A bit due to undoing lots of pipework
I just topped up temporarily to get me through winter but i now want to completely drain , flush and refill the system
I found a good diy guide here...
Gents,
My temp gauge is showing a consistently low temperature (40-50C). So I plan on replacing both the thermostat and temp sensor.
Could someone please confirm where the sensor is located. I've done a few searches on-line but never seem to find one for my engine.
Cheers Dale
Oops obviously...
Went to change the thermostat today, as temp was only getting to around 60 in this cold weather.
Coolant that came out appeared to be green in colour.
Looked at local suppliers for fresh antifreeze only to discover that they all seemed to stock only blue or red.
Assumed Mercedes probably has...
