Bingo. If you want to get the crap out of the cooling system pull the lower hose at the lowest point (usually the radiator). In my experience it's best to refill through the big top hose (disconnected at the radiator). > -Original Message- > From: Curley McLain via Mercedes > > Drain

Makes sense. I never thought about it, I just thought it was weird that there was no aux fan. Guess it’s because I haven’t had anything this new. -D > On May 22, 2019, at 9:09 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > If that is the case then it won’t have an aux fan. > > Sent from my iPh

I think it’s got an electric fan on the back of the radiator. I’ll have to look, but I’m pretty sure that’s the setup. I can see where that might preclude the need for an aux fan. -D > On May 22, 2019, at 8:59 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Does yours have a regular fan clutch
