125K miles. I had the oil cooler leak fixed...been purring like a kitten ever since!
Niccceee, :)
My oil cooler leaked internally and put oil into the coolant so replaces the entire assembly on my C320...hello from a fellow Aussie..
Good day mate :)
Many thanks for the video.

What brand is the thermostat?
Did it come with the gasket?
Thank you

Hi, I have a 2010 e550 with the M273, I’ve been losing about a cup of coolant after every day of driving. I dont see any leaks visually and dont see any white smoke coming from the exhaust when idling. What could my issue be
There is a coolant pressure tester on ebay that pressurises the cooling system with a gauge, buy one and test it yourself, instead of spending thousands on replacing random parts IMHO.
My 272 engine sounds the hydraulic tappets when the car is stopped. Is it very difficult to change them? regards
What year is your car and how many Ks?

Hi! Is that orange coolant MB approved? MB use a blue one
MB approved, coolant can be any color.
@@BenzAddiction sure, I was just telling you because I replaced the coolant in my CL 500 two years ago and got it from the dealer

Always use distilled water
@@rizzotto139 That's normal, you want to diluite coolant with distilled water only. I also use it to diluite the washer fluid since tap water is full of limestone in the area where I live and it end up obstructing washer fluid nozzles and ducts
