Folks, So I removed the front pan of the E320 hovercraft 2002 wagon this afternoon.
After running the engine a while I was able to see that the water leak was coming from the coolant reservoir overflow. The car came with the wrong cap …. I ordered one and was sent a screw on plastic one … I took the cap off my 123 wagon and it seemed to fit …. I ordered a Chinese copy of the 123 wagon cap … it fit but was harder to install than the 123 cap so I put that one on the hovercraft …. Anyway it was leaking from the overflow. When I installed the Chinese 123 style radiator cap the leak stopped !!! Maybe the problem is solved. I’m going to drive it 15 miles in a day or two and see if the water loss is stopped. I can only hope. Now I’m going to replace the frayed serpentine belt … looks super easy. I will inspect the tensioner pulley and the idler pulley and if they are crappy I’ll replace them with high priced Chinese copies of the Mercedes parts for $10 and $22 each … from the big women. This is what I did on my dodge Mercedes sprinter and they have seemed to be fine for a year or so.
