Engine Coolent Drain Plug e200 W124

[Karl W]

Hello there,

Can any one tell me where the engine block coolent drain plug is hiding on my e200. It's a 95 with the M111 2.0ltr 16V.

I couldn't see it for looking the other day. Thanks for reading.

Under the exhaust manifold.

Cheers, I take it access is made easier by removing the heat shield

£$%^&*( ~# impossible to get at except from below and you will have to make up a spanner to get any purchase on it. I would ignore it-and flush out the coolant system with a hose via the thermostsat housing till it runs clear.

Cheers. So just take out the thermostat put it back together, flush it through the top hose and out of the bottom hose.
