Hi everyone, hope someone can answer this for me...
To start with, the car is a 2004 ML270 CDI with full service history from same Indy for last 6-7 years, before I bought it recently.
I'm preparing myself to change the thermostat - thanks for all the hints, tips & photo's from previous threads about this, very helpful.
To be on the safe side I went to my local MB dealer for some coolant for topping up.
The colour of the coolant he offered me was blue, and yet, that in my car is yellow/orange. He said this is all they've ever stocked.
If by chance I lose a load of fluid whilst changing the stat, will I have to replace the whole 12 litres with the blue stuff - surely it can't be mixed?
Or on the other hand - should it be blue anyway?
Regards, Jane
