coolant

Sprinter (55 plate) is loosing coolant through the overflow (via bottle test), replaced the radiator cap but it's still coming out of the overflow pipe. Temp staying at around 80 or just under so it's not overheating. Any ideas/suggestions greatly welcomed. Thanks

Hi all please be kind as I put myself in the firing line to ask what may be a simple question- Last week a got my C class 220 (61reg) and today had the message to check the coolant, on inspection it does seem to be quite low but I can't see any obvious level marks or guage in the tank, I have...

Hi All. 2 weeks ago my C180 (2002, 2.0L auto NON Komp) stopped shifting gears! I took it to a local reputable MB Specialist who did a diagnostic check and found faults with speed sensor and oil contamination with coolant inside the gearbox. Suggested: Requires new radiator, Gearbox to...

My 2002 E320 cdi runs at about 60 degree C. This seems a bit low. My skoda audi and Volkswagen all run at about 90 degrees C. Is my thermostat buggered? Is it a simple job to change?

Hi, I have an N-reg C180 (w202), and have recently had 2 issues spring up either together or within a short timeframe: - The coolant warning light has come on. I've checked the coolant level and everything looks fine, plus I've driven from Reading to Edinburgh and back without issue, so I...

Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on Waterless coolant, for example Evans waterless coolant. Sounds like quite a good idea to reduce corrosion etc. Would be interesting to see if it means the engine would actually run cooler so potentially lowering IAT's for the Supercharged cars...

Hi guys :D Winter is approaching and I checked the strength of my coolant yesterday and because it hasn't been changed in a while, it's pretty weak. I would like to perform a DIY flush / replacement ASAP. Problem is, what type of coolant do I use? There are 2 types. Inorganic Additive...

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I recently posted a comment on another member's thread about the coolant leaking on my 60 plate E250 CDI, where one would have to top it up about every 2 weeks. This was after 2 months of ownership. Upon contacting the MB dealership in Blackburn I bought the...

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum. I have recently purchased a Mercedes C180 Kompressor. Over the last week I have had to top up the coolant three times. Most of my journeys are less than 40mls per day. I have had it pressure tested and all was fine, however there are no signs of...

Hello everyone I am new to this forum, but I have so many question I don't even know where to start. Well I bought an ML 270 Cdi for my missus and soon as I drove off the next day the coolant light came on with loss of power,and a strange louder hum, what sounds like a hole on the exhaust...

I have a MY2000 E320 CDI, which is probably well into its retirement years. The 'Coolant Check Level' warning came up the other day, initially intermittently and now every time it starts. There is no obvious leakage, and the operating temperature rises steadily [but quicker than before?]...

How critical is the torque settings for water pump to engine ?. You have no room for socket never mind the torque wrench .How do you members get on at this stage of refiting the dreaded coolant pump. Just at this stage now .And should i use sealant on the pump face .Realy nasty job if it leaks...

Morning all! So I have recently had to top up the coolant levels on the C32 and the loss is very gradual, over a few weeks rather than days or minutes. I haven't taken the inlet plenums off yet as I assume there's a gasket in them id have to replace even for just a quick inspection. I am...
