The very first thing I do when a Benz suffers from unseen coolant
loss or running too hot is to replace the radiator cap -- they will
boil on stopping, forcing coolant out into the overflow tank, where
it will not be drawn back in by the faulty cap, eventually spilling
over. Caps are cheap
That's what I thought. Modification is probably not NECESSARY, but many
