How Much Coolant Should Be Added to a Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz C-Class requires 4 to 4.5L of coolant. It's recommended to prepare 6L and store the excess for top-ups when coolant levels drop. Coolant is a special additive-containing liquid primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It provides excellent performance in winter antifreeze protection, summer anti-boil, year-round anti-scale, and corrosion prevention. How to replace coolant: Before a complete coolant replacement, conduct a thorough inspection for leaks or cracks in all pipes, with particular attention to the five-way hose. Coolant flows through this hose before being distributed to different parts of the vehicle. If leaks are found in this area, replace the hose or resecure connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the channels with clean water. Add water to the coolant reservoir and let it circulate continuously through the engine cooling system. Idle the engine for 3-5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the discharged water may appear slightly pinkish. Continue flushing until the water runs clear. Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the heater core completely. About one hour after draining, add new coolant through the radiator hose. Then pour another container of coolant into the reservoir until nearly full. Run the engine for about 10 minutes - as air escapes from the system, the coolant level will drop. Top up to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
