hi there guys, i have a clk240 2002 and it recently had its gearbox reconditioned. however its been a few months now and after having a health check from merc, they reported that oil was in the coolant reservoir. i have checked again today by a garage who did my oil change and they saw quite...

Or perhaps "It never rains but it pours Pt II"... The wretched thing has now sprung a leak! It is a very pleasant car to drive, but if ever a car needed a swift kick up the jacksie, this one does... Engine runs fine; gearbox shifts fine; no sign of oil/bubbles/scum in the coolant; no sign...

Hi I've got a Mercedes 220 cdi I had car 4 months and had to top coolant up twice with about 1/2 a ltr is this normal it only seems to drop slightly in expansion tank but warning comes on its a w203 model thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy Friday everyone!! Quick one for those more knowledgeable than i am about this subject. I am getting the message low coolant level every time my car starts, however the car is due for a service at the end of the month and i will probably be covering another 700 miles until then...

Hi guys, I intend to replace the thermostat on my 2006 W203 C200 CDI (OM646) this weekend. The coolant currently in the system is G13 (see attached img). It was used after replacing the water pump a year and a half ago by a mechanic very familiar with these cars (used to work in a MB...

Hi, my name's Mark and my car has a drinking problem... It all started in November, when I noticed that she'd started knocking back the juice a bit, well to be honest about a quarter of a litre every 100 miles. After some heated 'discussions' in the garage about what the hell she was doing...

Gents I have the dreaded "low coolant" message on a 2012 E Class 220. The last time I had this it was on a C class and it was the water pump that had gone and had to be replaced, the car had done around 45K. This E Class has just done 30K, is it worth topping it up and seeing if it was just...

Hi All, Just wanted to ask all M113K (S55 Kompressor) owners and anyone else who can answer this question for me. I want to do a coolant change myself and did a bit of research into what is involved, just to be safe. From what i have been seeing is that, its pretty much open the cap on the...

Had an email from Halfords this morning. Their doing a Winter Service thing. Reading through it appears they do a coolant change as part of the offer along with something called Ducks Back for the windscreen. Popped in to the local Halfords this afternoon to find out if they drained the...

Noticed slight coolant loss under front drivers side of engine at the weekend. Have taken car to a friends garage this morning and they did a pressure check which yielded nothing and of course the underneath is dry as a bone. Any ideas/suggestions? I monitor the fluid weekly as I do nearly 500...

Hi all, M102 W124 230CE, losing coolant (about 3-4 pints per week!) I have looked when hot, when cold but can see no obvious leak, reasonably new radiator, thermostat plus housing and expansion tank cap. Also when I go to top up, invariably there is still pressure in the system. I did a...

Hi there, my apologies if i have posted in the wrong section (My first post) So basically i have an issue with my 2010 E350 CDI - I have a message that appears in front me that looks like a thermostat in water? The fan kicks in and stays on continuously when the car is running. The fan...

The electrical connector to the little electrical coolant pump on the inner wing has corroded and broken off. I'm going to get a new connector made but is it ok to drive with the pump disconnected in the meantime? Thanks

I have a 2013 C63 with 33000 miles on the clock and when I started the car this evening, a message came up on the dash saying coolant level is low and needs topping up. I will check the level later when the car has cooled down but should I be worried about this? Research seems to indicate...

i will be changing my thermostat at the weekend,i will try to save as much as i can,but i was wondering if there is any type of coolant that will mix with mercs coolant.

Hi everyone, In March of this year, my mechanic replaced the radiator, thermostat, water pump and a number of coolant pipes as preventative maintenance on the 600. Since that time, she's been slowly loosing coolant. At first, the coolant level light would only come on during/after hard...

Hi everyone, I am currently restoring a 1983 Mercedes W123 200 saloon. When I purchased the car, it came without an engine. I have since purchased an engine but it had already been removed from the car too! I am in need of some under bonnet photos of the engine showing the coolant pipe/hose...

Hi, I will be changing my coolant on my slk 200 at the weekend. Can anyone tell me if there is a drain **** for draining down the engine. Many thanks.

Hi there, I have just replaced the thermostat and changed the coolant on my 95 e220 coupe. Everything is fine but I'd like to know how to bleed the system. I've let it run with the cap off and top hose gets warm as do the heaters but expansion tank remains cold. When I squeeze the...

I'm new to the forum as I've very recently purchased a CLK 270. Loving the car but I've come across something a little concerning and this forum looked like the best place to query it! The other day I had a malfunction notice asking me to check the engine coolant. When I lifted the bonnet, I...
