Takes about 3.6 liters or 3.8 quarts
Mix of 50/50 distilled water and antifreeze
8mm for panel screws
Needle nose pliers
Do not use regular water, because it will create calcium deposits in the cooling system.
Make sure you use gloves.
Never dispose of the antifreeze in the storm drains or any drain. Treat it the same as oil.
Not a full flush, but close enough
If you add too much distilled water in the mix, it will freeze in the cold weather. Like in NJ when it gets too cold.
Too much antifreeze, it will not transfer heat as well. Pure antifreeze can cause hot spots through poor heat transfer and induce labor knocking or pinging.
Raise the suspension extra space
When adding coolant, bring the container up to the same level as the coolant expansion reservoir.
Fill the system with distilled water first to clean it, then drain and fill again with proper mix.

This video and the series on the GLC 300 fluid changes have been amazing!! Thank you!

[@josecitomarin]

Thank you so much

[@emiliosanchez5621]

Thank you Jose’. I’ve been looking for this inter cooler instructions for a while. The coolant in my ML400 is very dark. Now I know what to do.

[@josecitomarin]

Good I’m glad my videos can help. Make sure you do both systems

[@lawrenceralph7481]

Thanks.

[@josecitomarin]

No problem

The clip on the plug is not intended to be completely removed. It pulls to the rear and stops.

[@josecitomarin]

Thank you so much for your comment. I just rather be sure of where I have the small pieces. Don’t want to loose them. In the middle of pulling that plug a letting the fluid go, it may get displaced.

Is the intercooler seperate from the normal coolant tank. I had Benz flush coolant but didn't have them change the intercooler

[@josecitomarin]

Thank you so much for your comment. They use the same type of coolant, but they are two different systems. I have another video in the soil at systems and another one in the main system. Please take a look

[@JamesSalvatore]

@@josecitomarin thank you I'll instruct them to flush that as well

[@josecitomarin]

Good. Also take a look at my other videos and if you didn’t already please Like them

Do you know where the AC fill port to recharge the AC refrigerant is

[@josecitomarin]

Thank you so much for your comment. They are under the front side cover on the left side.

[@claytoncox66]

Did you consider upgrading to the Pierburg CWA100-2 while doing this?

[@josecitomarin]

Thank you so much for your comment. I would only think about the upgrade only when the original one goes. But I really like to keep thinks stock.

[@JeagerTank]

What happens when the coolant is low? When do I check the fluid levels before or after running engine?

[@josecitomarin]

Thank you so much for your comment. If your coolant is low, your engine could overheat. Do not check the coolant level after you ran the car. It gets too hot. So make sure you check the level before running the car

[@emiliosanchez5621]

Are you saying to use 50/50 and distilled water? Is the 50/50 not good enough? Should it be a 50/50 for Benz/European car?

[@josecitomarin]

You have to use distilled water. Regular water is not good for your car.

[@emiliosanchez5621]

You almost got caught speeding.

[@josecitomarin]

Thank you so much for your comment. I almost did yes. Had a great time

[@Sun_1971]

Thank you, great sharing. One question: How strong compressor should be? Can I use 2 or 3 gallon small compressor?

[@josecitomarin]

Thank you so much. I think it will work. Just may have to ran longer. Mine is 4.5gal

[@Sun_1971]

@@josecitomarin I have leak on upper radiator hose I am not sure if should I drain all fluid or partly. Or maybe I should flush and put new coolant while I am there as car has 50.000 miles

[@josecitomarin]

@@Sun_1971 I would drain the entire thing after fixing the leaks. Air may have entered the system already and also some debris.

[@Sun_1971]

@@josecitomarin Thank you
