In Curt's situation, he is driving mildly around town. The

Phillip is correct, when the cap is on it will just vent coolant when the
pressure builds too high as its running.
The problem is not that the coolant boils per-say its that I can't keep coolant
in the engine.

Thats not entirely true. I was suspicious of my new thermostat so I pulled it
and put it along with the old one in a pot of water that I brought to a boil
while checking with my IR thermometer. Both started opening at about 165F and
were fully open around 190F. So coolant is moving well before
So how do you bleed the air out of the cooling system if you can't run it up to
temp with the radiator cap off?

I just know this, Mercedes designed the system to work with a 15psi
pressure cap and it will mildly overheat without the pressure cap in
place. As Herr Sainted Dr. Boothe said, (paraphrase) Mercedes designed
it that way, operate it that way.
