Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

It sure doesn’t look good. This morning I checked reservoir and it was at the mark, pulled upper hose and had water there. Started it up and let it idle with some revs up and down without the cap on. Reached 80 after a while and never had any bubbles in the tank. Looked good. Put cap back on, re

Sounds like you're slowly working out the trapped air. Does the upper hose stay hard overnight? Max Dillon Charleston SC Jun 7, 2020 12:49:30 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes : > It sure doesn’t look good. This morning I checked reservoir and it was at the > mark, pulled upper hose and had water

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

No. In fact this morning it was under a slight vacuum as in the upper hose was somewhat squeezed in. Not completely flat. When I pulled the cap it expanded. Within about 20-30 minutes of shitting the car off just now hose is pliable again. It could have a fan clutch problem as well. Even at hi

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

If the hose got soft, the head and gasket sound fine to me.  You have other problems. Max Dillon Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

Bad fan clutch for starters. If you had a cracked head or blown head gasket you would probably have oil in the reservoir by now. Easy to test the visco clutch -- when it's hot, have someone shut the engine off while you watch the fan. If it doesn't stop within a rotation or two, it's out of o

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

Might be the clutch and/or this radiator. I took the radiator that was in the back seat of that 80k mile e300 I picked up from copart that had the head removed. I may need to pull it back out and just swap in a new one and clutch. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 7, 2020, at 1:39 PM, Max Dillon vi

Two questions: 1. Did you turn the cabin heat on before you started filling the system? 2. Did you try running it with a new thermostat? Gerry...late comer to discussion. Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: > It sure doesn’t look good. This morning I checked reservoir and it was at the > mark, p

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

No, I did not turn on the heat before I started filling. The thermostat was replaced a few months ago. Upper hose gets hot, have not checked lower hose. I assume it flowed from the bottom up in the radiator? Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 7, 2020, at 2:24 PM, archer75--- via Mercedes > wrote: >

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

No, flow is out from the top hose (from the head) into the top of the radiator, then out from bottom of radiator into the thermostat and then water pump. Jun 7, 2020 4:43:16 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes : > No, I did not turn on the heat before I started filling. The thermostat was > replaced

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

I need to check the bottom hose and see if it is hot after it gets warmed up.  Maybe nothing is flowing thru it although I did get water flowing out of the top neck with the hose disconnected when filling in the reservoir. On 6/7/2020 4:09 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: No, flow is out fr

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

Well the bottom hose is not supposed to get hot, the radiator is supposed to cool off the coolant, so maybe it will be warmish. Really hot or stays cold would be problems. Used radiator from a car that had the head off, hmmm, maybe a bad radiator blew the headgasket or cracked the head on that ca

Re: [MBZ] I think I managed to blow the head gasket on my e300

The head was pulled off because the PO evidently broke off a glow plug, but yes the radiator is suspect. Will have to investigate further. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 7, 2020, at 5:39 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > Well the bottom hose is not supposed to get hot, the radiator i
