Mercedes Radiator Coolant Flush DIY iRepair Autos
A coolant flush is a process of draining the vehicle's old coolant and running clean water through the system to clear it out. Removing dirt, rust, sludge, and another sedative is an integral part of keeping your vehicle's cooling system doing its job right!

You didn’t show you filling the coolant, the coolant is supposed to be blue and it seems like you put generic regular coolant in there?? The blue coolant is used in BMW and Mercedes it is different from regular coolant as it has a lubricant in it for the water pump, it’s more expensive but it is better. It would be nice to list the tools and supplies needed as well. What island are you from Bredren?

One question, did you have to remove any bottom pan that may have been blocking access to the red drain cap, also would it make any difference because I have c300 2011, thanks

@mbenz9389 2 ай бұрын

I strongly recommend to add distilled water and flush many times till clear fluid. Then add new coolant. Change the drain plug it’s cheap.

Video shows green coolant, I'm pretty sure that all Mercedes Benz use either a peach colored coolant like Zerex G-05 or a blue coolant from Mercedes or Zerex G48. Very important to use the right coolant, for pH balance and anti corrosion.

@sat_sonic 4 жыл бұрын

Do not mix them regardless of what the bottle says. If green it’s wrong - it needs to be drained out, then you need to flush with 2 gallons of distilled water (do not use a garden hose) finally refill with MB coolant.

I was thinking of doing this because I'm about to change my thermostat anyway. But what you mean by this is not a complete flush? In the beginning of the video

@iRepairAutos 4 жыл бұрын

You're right, a complete flush includes hooking up an evacuator and sucking all the coolant out of the system including the engine, the hoses, the radiator, etc. then filling it back (even the air is sucked out) Does that help?

@worteldrie4980 3 жыл бұрын

I read in a manual I bought for a mercedes that you're supposed to use a special vacuum pump with an air compressor to force the air out of the system while adding coolant. Idk if that is necessary or not. Most of the cars I've worked on bleed themselves either with or without the radiator cap on.

special pumps are not necessary as long as you do what you said.

Go with what's in the vehicle now. You run into issues of clogging when you mix the various types. If you don't mix then you're good.

@davidjacobs8558 4 жыл бұрын

There seem to be only 2 type of Genuine Mercedes Coolant that they produce at the moment Blue (BQ 1 03 0004) and Pink (BQ 1 03 0005) - some sellers called them Red I don't know what yellow is, maybe they used it long time ago? but not in current models, for at least 15 years or so. I heard Zerex (by Valvoline) was the OEM manufacturer for Mercedes (at least in USA, may not be in Europe)

@ryanhuang8498 Жыл бұрын

Zerex in North America is the supplier to many European car makers. Mercedes Benz at one time used G48 in North America from 2011-2013. G40 is the violet coolant from 2014 and up. In Europe,the largest supplier to European carmakers is BASF. BASF's aftermarket coolant brand is called Glysantin. Hence the G in front of the number.

I tried to remove the radiator drain plug but it broke. I drilled it and removed it. When I replaced it with a new drain plug, water was leaking from the litlle black hose next to the red drain plug, I assume I damaged the threads. What can I do to fix the problem?

@mangoss304 Жыл бұрын

Hey man if I were you. I would take it to a mechanic do your research on the places. There are good honest shops out there that take care of your car and you can save your money. I'm not to sure if this guy is going to reply to you he hasn't to a lot of people when they asked. You have to be really careful when removing anything in your car. If you are very gentle with it and kind. It will be your good friend. If you are rough and mean it will make sure you learn your lesson in life. Sometimes you have to be a little bit rough when it comes down to removing certain things in your car. But that's like a little bit. Sometimes you can get blessed with a really kind person that can teach you in person how to do it. Stuff like that I would leave it alone unless if someone taught me. And I am confident enough to know what I am doing. If you break more things it can lead to serious problems. Mercedes are meant to last if you take good care of it but if you don't know what your doing. Don't touch it!
