Hi all,
I had a new (Behr) radiator fitted about 3 weeks ago. No apparent cooling system problems until this week-end.
After the visit to the workshop, though, I found that the aircon (Diavia, dealer fitted) had stopped working. The compressor would not switch on.
I had for some time...
My 2011 Vito 116 CDi with 112,000 miles, fully serviced has just decided to lose power. Coolant warning light carm up in computer display indicating to pull over and switch off immediately, coupled with a loss of power, unable to get above 40mph, no revs. Pulled over. Switched off. Checked...
I've noticed a burning smell coming from my car after having been driven. I think it may be from the catalytic converter which appears to have some residue/gunk on it. The coolant level seems to have dropped slightly, so I'm thinking the coolant is leaking from somewhere and running down to the...
Good Evening,
Looking for some help with a problem I'm struggling with. I have a 2002 ML270 CDI. I've had a problem for some time that is gradually getting worse. I'm topping up with coolant regularly; around 1/2 litre every 2 to 3 weeks. Recently also, despite the fact that there is adequate...

Hi, I need to replace the coolant in my engine but how many litres does the system hold? Just so i can buy the correct amount of antifreeze. Also does the system need bleeding? If so how is this done. Car runs at about 82 degrees on the temp gauge is this to cold? 1997 c200 w202.
Hi folks,
I'd like to check the concentration of my coolant to ensure I've protection during this cold weather. I've seen the simple devices that syringe out a sample of coolant and indicate the temperature to which the coolant will provide protection.
However, they seem to cater for two...
I have a W202 C250TD (1999), i recently changed the coolant (Red stuff) and using a mix of 50/50 (with de-ionised water) topped up - all good - now sits just under 80 when going to work (although can rise/fall to 80 through the journey).
Yesterday I did a bit of early morning town driving...
