Over heating

[Londondave]

Hi there I was just wondering if anyone has a clue what could be the problem with my 2012 B class 180 ,I keep loosing water ,can't see where from either,car overheats,if I don't have the car blowers on ,roasting hot in the car ,now only the passengers side blowers are blowing out hot air and the drivers side is blowing out cold air, iam baffled by it all to be honest ,any ideas what it could be would be a big help?????????

First thought - might it be head gasket failure? Any white smoke from the exhaust when accelerating?

second thought water pump - any noise from the engine bay when running

all a guessing game

Has someone replaced/significantly topped up the MB spec coolant/antifreeze/inhibitor mix with plain old water? Especially the muck delivered in London!

With engine cold squeeze the top hose.
Run engine 3-4 minutes.
With engine running squeeze hose again.
If it's rock hard head gasket has failed.

No bad smells,no white gunk in oil filler cap ,hose one side is soft and hot and other side is cold and soft ,it's weird mate honestly ,I could be pouring money down the drain with this one lol

Check carpets in front footwells.
Lack of heat could be an air lock in the heater circuit.
If all else fails get some UV dye and add it to the coolant then shine a UV torch about looking for the tell tale.

UV dye kits are available online for not much money.
