Where to Add Antifreeze in a Mercedes-Benz Car?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz cars' antifreeze is added on the left side of the engine compartment, behind the headlight. The method for adding antifreeze is as follows: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap, open the radiator drain valve, and drain the antifreeze; 2. Insert a rubber hose connected to a tap into the radiator filler port and turn on the tap; 3. After the cooling system water is completely drained, close the radiator drain valve; 4. Replace the radiator cap and reservoir cap, and tighten them. Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury car brand, renowned for its perfect technical level, rigorous quality standards, innovative capabilities, and a series of classic coupe styles. The Mercedes three-pointed star is one of the world's most famous car and brand logos.
I've been driving for over twenty years, and the coolant in a Mercedes-Benz has to be added in the engine compartment. The exact location varies by model, but in most Mercedes, after opening the front hood, you'll see a translucent plastic tank at the front or left side, labeled 'Coolant' or '防冻液' (coolant), sometimes with marked lines indicating the maximum and minimum levels. Remember, the car must be completely cooled before adding—hot conditions create high pressure and can release steam, causing burns. I've seen someone get scalded on the wrist for not waiting. Don’t just buy any coolant; Mercedes recommends using a specific formula—only the original is reliable to avoid corroding pipes or leaks. Pour slowly to avoid spills, stopping when the level reaches the full mark. Regular checks are crucial, especially before winter, as topping up low levels prevents engine freezing or overheating breakdowns. DIY is manageable, but if unsure, check the user manual’s diagrams or seek professional help for safety.
