Coolant Change E320 CDi V6

Not due for another 5yrs. But is there any difficulty in d.i.y.

Like dropping the bottom hose off and a few flushes?

What needs to go back in for the next 15yrs protection?

I wouldn't follow the supplied instructions for a coolant change.

DIY is very simple.
The radiator has a drain plug at the bottom right, looking at the engine.
No need to remove any rad hoses.
MB will provide you with the correct coolant and not too expensive.

Quite right, sorry for the brain fade.

No worries!
We have all suffered brain fade at one time or another.

Remember to remove coolant cap on reservoir so that the coolant can flow out the bottom (allows it to be replaced with air rather than form a vacuum)
