Subject: Re: FILL COOLANT FLUID


I would trot over to the Mercedes Benz dealer and pick up a couple gallons of their light color antifreeze. It is compatible with what is in your car (unless it is that pink stuff - dexcool). Green stuff is not very good as it allows the etching which eats head gaskets. As you have already lost some coolant from the sealed system, it would be advisable to determine the source of the leak. It may be a head gasket, a loose clamp, a radiator, a hose, or a heater core. keithG very good information: http://216.78.172.244/cooling_system_folder/coolingsys.htm "Toby Field" <tobyfieldnopsamail.com> wrote in message news:adsctm$rvj$1nopsam6.svr.pol.co.uk... > You shouldn't mix different types of Antifreeze.
