Hi, I am thinking of replacing the coolant on my clk 230 as this is probably long overdue. Normally an easy job on my previous cars, I was told of a drain plug on the radiator but cannot see it from on top. I assume its accessible from beneath by removing the sump cover/ guard. Checking on the...

As above I cleaned the car this weekend and decided to clean under the bonnet and when I looked at the coolant tank on the left it had two lines of coolant stained on the bottle. It didn't look much at all but I could also turn the cap slightly to full lock. So my questions are because it is...

Hi, Over the last week or so, I've had to top my coolant up three times. Looking closer today, the subframe under the radiator seems to have puddles of water in it. I'm guessing the water pump is a suspect, but access looks pretty bad - I can't even see well enough to distinguish the...
