55k coolant change / flush

[Lenny63]

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 :Mercedes Benz E Class AMG w211 How to Flush Your Radiator Coolant - Mbworld

Do you have any further hints or tips for doing this Job and to get coolant flushed out of the block too ( are there drain plugs) ?

I know I gotta re-?bleeed the IC pump again and I'm cool with thag

Regards

Lenny

If you have already done it partially once eg when the alternator was done, Just dropping the Water from the Rad would be enough imho.

Its all the same system, I lost quite abit when i changed my intercooler.

I am never a fan of flashing the system, unless you saw sludge when you drained the system before.

If you added tap water i would drain and fill the system with a premixed good quality anti-freeze, else just get the anti-freeze tested and adjust the mix.
