Subject: [MBZ] Citric Acid Flush
How much citric acid do I need to flush the cooling system?
Local MB dealer has 1 lb in stock for ~$19. Can get it online for $2-3 a
lb, but have to order 5+ pounds...
Also, I've heard mention of a drain plug on the engine block. Is this
basically the block heater or have I missed something?
Thanks!!

About a kg (2.2 lb) is correct, but the precise concentration is not
vital. Any amount between say a pound and 4-5 lbs (0.5 to 2 kg) will
clean out the most any Mercedes cooling system. Be sure you flush the
system well several times to insure that all the acid is GONE. The drain
plug is on the passenger's side of the engine just in front of the
starter motor.
