I,ve just started to change the rear spheres on my W210 estate today and both the 17mm pipes were totally solid into the spheres (applied penetrating oil for a few days before) so I have had to order 2 x new pipes which will be with me tomorrow.
My question is:
When the new spheres/pipes are back in place, and I get someone to start the car so I can fill the resovoir (I,m presuming the level will drop quickly?)
Do I pre fill the resovoir to the top before starting the car?
When the engine is running do I turn the engine off again when the level looks like its getting two low?
The reason I ask is that I unscrewed resovoir cap once when the engine was running and fluid started to leak out so wondered if it could be run with the cap off?
