Re: [MBZ] Crack in radiator

Replace it.. It will not heal, it will only get worse and fail when you least expect it to... like when the temp is up and you are running AC in slow traffic... the crack will expand as pressure goes up, then full failure of the tank. My money goes to "replace with new". On Mon, May 25, 2020 at

[MBZ] Crack in radiator

I have noticed a small coolant leak coming from the LF area of the radiator and it appeared to be coming from the neck on my 98 E300. The other day I pulled upper radiator support to pull the aux fan to replace the belt and saw a very small hairline crack in the tank right on top.  It probably

Do not assume that the gauge is linear - nor that the fuel remaining-range left is accurate. Only experience will tell you, drive another couple thousand miles, log every drop of fuel you pump, and you will find out what's what. On Sun, May 24, 2020 at 10:50 PM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes <
