The low coolant light is on, so I want to add coolant. What kind of coolant do I need to use and where do I add it? Any Mercedes Benz experts out there?
BUY THE CREON FROM THE STORE FIRST, GET THE AIR HOSE THAT FITS YOUR AIR CONDITIONG PIPES UNDER THE HOOD, ATTACH THE CREON TO THE HOSE AND THE HOSE TO THE AIR PIPE, TURN THE AIR ON IN YOUR CAR AND OPEN THE CREON LETTING IT FLOW INTO YOUR CARS A/C UNTIL ITS ALL GONE.
For a Mercedes, check your owner’s manual or call the local dealership. Considering the car, I’d spend the extra money on what is suppose to be in the system. Also, you should be able to add the coolant to the resevoir.
The coolant reservoir is located at the top left of the engine bay near the firewall. It is an oblong white plastic container with a silver pressure cap as would be seen in older cars directly on the radiator.
There should be a green liquid in it. DO NOT open the cap if the car has been running. It should be cool/cold before opening!! Check the full line on the canister and do not over-fill the reservoir.If I remember correctly, immediately before adding the coolant, start the engine, so the coolant will circulate and air bubbles will not form in the cooling system.
Then seal the cap tightly.
