Hey guys,
I am very confused as to what type of coolant I need.
I put my reg in auto doc, and it's saying I need G11 blue, chatGpt is saying I need mb325.0 spec coolant, and euro car parts is saying something else.
Currently in the car, the coolant is blue/green ish colour.
It's a 2012 b180d...

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help here, I'm at a bit of a dead end!
I've got a OM606.962 that I fitted last winter into my defender canpervan. It's got a diesel pump uk 7.7mm pump and a few other goodies. In May we did 2000 miles around Scotland and it didn't miss a beat!
Until the way...
Hi, I hope someone can help.
ive found a radiator drain valve in a recess on the rhs (as you look at it, technically the left as a driver) of the rad. It was in the 12 o’clock position and I can turn it anticlockwise to the 9 o’clock position, it’s a bit stiff but moves okay.
but nothing comes...
Hello dear members. I am extremely worried for the following issue. Light white smoke is coming out of my exhaust.
I noticed it a couple of days ago.
I have also checked cooling fluid, oil filler cap and spark plugs for signs of head gasket failure but seems NOT to be a head gasket (as can be...
Hi Folks,
I have a slight leak from my water pump on my ‘05 W211 E270, so I’m looking to replace it over the next few weeks.
Seems like a fairly straightforward job, albeit I need to buy a T50 bit to take the idler pulley off. I also don’t have any “E” sockets, although regular hex sockets...
Hi folks!
I've had a coolant message coming up in my 06 W221 320cdi. I have topped it up hoping it just needed a top-up, after 10 miles message was back again, took the car for a quick inspection and was told "oh man if it's taking coolant you need a new engine" type thing... took it to...
Hi all,
W212 Petrol, M274 Engine, 2013, 60k mileage
Coolant temp in town is stable at just under 90 which is fine........when travelling high speeds it's mostly at 80, however it will dip to 60's if I'm coasting.
Had a MB software update recently (for the gearbox) but apart from that, the...
Hi, I'm trying to find the coolant sensor on this engine. That might sound like a silly thing to have trouble with, but I can see two things that look like the candidate, and neither are it.
The actual problem I am having is that there is no heat and the temp gauge doesn't move. To me that says...
Hello all, my 1998 W202 C250TD benz at the moment (winter in the southern hemisphere) only reaches a "running temp" of around 62-65°C on the highway and when driven hard gets closer to about 70°C, but never reaching 80°C. The same is true even when it was warmer earlier this year only reaching...

Ive changed the coolant thermostat housing cos it was leaking and obviously I lost coolant, my question is when I refill it is there a procedure as I've read that the housing opens up at a temperature. Cos as I've refitted it the coolant level hasnt dropped even with the engine...

Hello there I’m new to this but I need some advice, on my a45 amg I noticed that when I took off the engine cover there was another ‘coolant’ looking container which was empty just to the right hand side of the oil cap I’ve had issues with the temperature fluctuating and then the launch control...
Just got my first ever Mercedes. It's a 2012 facelift C350 CDI, was a bargain buy but has a few problems.
First, the 'Top up coolant' message just came on so after a quick check it was a bit low, so topped it up. Message hasn't cleared yet and engine temperature all seems fine and no leak (yet)...
Im trying to fill up the engine coolant on my sister c220d w205 model. However there are 2 reservoirs with the coolant label on them. If you are looking at the engine there is one of the left and it's black. There is also one on the right and you can see inside it but it's smaller than the one...
Hi All,
I've got a load of information from the forum over the last few months so thanks to all the contributors.
I need to top up my coolant so have been looking at the posts on identifying which one to use but am still confused on this one and don't want to put in the wrong stuff. The fluid...
Hi All,
I currently have a 2008 GL420 4.0 V8 Diesel and the coolant level constantly needs topped up every time its driven and no one can find the issue. My mechanic has looked and found the coolant cap was broken so it was replaced (didn't work or make a difference). The thermostat was also...
Last Nov 2017, there was a leak where white powder was found around the cap.
Replaced the cap and topped up the coolant.
Last week coolant lights came on again, dropped by about 1cm.
3 months ago, my turbo pipe did split and I had to drive down for about 45 mins in limp mode on the M3.
I was...
Hi all,
