Product Information

Choosing the correct fluids for your car is one of the most daunting tasks for a new DIYer. The local auto parts store will have walls lined with oils, solvents, and fluids as far as the eye can see without the definitive information you need. Choosing the right engine coolant is no different. Is it the green kind or the pink kind? Maybe the blue one? In Mercedes’ case, it could be any of the three depending on which engine you have. Coolant composition has changed over the years as engine system materials have evolved for better efficiency, so you’ll need to know which one is for your Mercedes before topping up your cooling system. An overheating engine can cut out as well. Rather than risk it, you should call for recovery if you have breakdown cover. Freeze and Boil Protection : Coolant’s additives will stop the fluid, and in turn the engine, from freezing in winter and boiling in summer, so your car runs safely in any weather. Another low engine coolant symptom you will notice is that the engine temperature gauge may start to fluctuate fast between different temperatures. Sealing and Gasket Protection : Coolant keeps the gaskets and seals in good condition, preventing leaks and damage to other components.

Mercedes-Benz Recall

It prepares the brakes for emergency braking if it senses that you’re in danger of collision, adding extra force to your brakes, and if a crash is imminent the system will automatically apply the brakes and retract the seatbelts to brace you. Can I still drive with my BAS light on? Most engine parts are made of metal, and as you may already know, metal expands and shrinks depending on the temperature. If the engine gets too hot, engine parts can expand so much that damage will occur, and the engine will seize.

Mercedes recommends a coolant flush and refill every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever happens first. Truthfully, you'll be fine to run the same coolant for a bit longer than that, but the antifreeze's cooling and protective properties won't be as strong as they were. That is especially the case with the older 325.0-spec Q1030002 and Q1030004 bottles of antifreeze. The newest 325.6 formula, part number Q1030005, has improved durability, so it should retain its properties for longer. BAS is a safety feature available on some Mercedes cars - also known as the PRE-SAFE® Brake - that uses a sensor to scan the road ahead, measuring the distance and relative speed of the vehicles in front, so that it can warn you - both visually and audibly - if you get too close. Some modern Mercedes cars use hybrid systems to reduce emissions and improve performance. This clever system can shut down the combustion engine, and instead allow the battery to power your car. Can I still drive with my hybrid fault light on? There are different types of engine coolants on the market, also called antifreeze. It's important to buy the right one for your vehicle.

Mercedes check engine warning light

Here is a more detailed list of the most common causes of a low engine coolant level: 1. External coolant leak If the warning light comes on it means that the system is temporarily unavailable, possibly because the sensor is either too hot or cold, or clogged with dirt. They're identical except G 05 has nitrites, G 48 is nitrite-free. Both are extended life Hybrid OAT, as opposed to Dexcool OAT, both-phosphate free, both low silicate (cca 250 ppm).

Well, of course, our Model-X may have just been a Monday morning job - perhaps they're not all like that...). So a warning message has popped up on your screen, that reads something like this: “Top-up coolant: see owner’s manual for warning message”. Don’t panic, it is as simple as it sounds. It is just time to top up your coolant. Here, we run through a few top tips for topping up your Mercedes with the specially formulated Mercedes-Benz C-Class coolant. How to top up your coolant Cooling systems’ harsh environment may damage sensitive electronic circuitry inside this sensor, making its readings incorrect. The easiest way of solving the issue is by replacing the sensor, which is easy to replace and inexpensive. In addition, damaged wiring and loose or broken connectors are something owners should not rule out. Conclusion None other than the user may want to use the pre-mixed product due to ease of handling or cost and visa versa. Topping up your car coolant with a bit of water is okay to help you get your car to the nearest garage.Just to add, that the remaining ill-fitting bits that we've learnt to live with are the trim around the rearview mirror which is still wonky, and the right-hand corner of the rear bumper which isn't straight and hangs a bit low compared to the rest of the bumper. In both cases, several unsuccessful attempts were made by the dealer to remove and refit the offending parts. Many cars are only used on local journeys. On short trips, the engine barely reaches normal operating temperature, so the cooling system isn't tested. Refilling the engine coolant is such an easy thing to do and surely worth considering the consequences of it. Just be careful never to open the coolant reservoir when the engine coolant is hot! Symptoms of Low Engine Coolant If the temperature gauge rises, the best way to temporarily deal with it is to turn the heater up full and the air conditioning on.
