Re: [MBZ] 240d cooling system flush

Not a good idea IMHO. You could end up with a bunch of dust and dirt in the water. The air filters in the dehumidifiers are not 100%. They are built just like the filters in most window AC units, just a plastic mesh to keep the worst of the dust bunnies from clogging up the evaporator fins.

Don, 124 wagons are more better, but have same hydraulic rear suspension. Better = hydraulic pump is not built into the head of the engine, but a dual-circuit power steering pump which lowers the cost of repair of either the pump or the head, and the pumps are far more common because of the
