Re: [MBZ] Changing coolant?

What does this mean for my 240D? I am thinking of changing t'stat at the some time as changing coolant. Is it a sequence issue? If you remove the thermostat there is little to no flow through the radiator. Either flush with a thermostat, letting the car get hot enough to open it, or replace

Re: [MBZ] Changing coolant?/ Current Star Article

George Murphy presents MB latest move into extended interval/lifetime services with an interesting coolant article. It appears that most MB produced since 2003 will qualify for the new 15 year, 150,000 mile coolant lifetime. Controlling Ph appears to be the central feature of this

[MBZ] Changing coolant?

I lucked out on Friday night and found that my local Wally Mart had Zerex G-05 on the shelf. So, now that I have the right stuff I plan to change the coolant in my 76 300D. Any good advice before I start? I had a bit of a scare when I changed the coolant in our 95 4Runner a couple of years ago.

Re: [MBZ] Changing coolant?

In addition to the excellent advice you've already received - there is a bleed screw on the thermostat housing on your car. I removed it when re-filling, then left it two turns open when I first started the engine . Close it when coolant starts coming out around it. -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK

[MBZ] Changing Coolant T'stat ('91 300D 2.5 Turbo)

Howdy, I'm finally ready to change my t'stat - have a new 80C t'stat kit from Rusty, coolant from MB and a new fan shroud to replace mine that's broken on 1 side. All simple jobs. But I have a couple questions since I'm still unfamiliar with the '91 300D 2.5T. I need to remove the

Re: [MBZ] Changing Coolant T'stat ('91 300D 2.5 Turbo)

Larry: The drain for the radiator should be on the passenger side, up inside a hole in the frame (it it's like the 87 300D, anyway). Screwdriver is the only tool requried, very easy. You will have to get under the car, or persuade someone else to, though. Everything is is up top. Remove
