How to check the coolant level on a Mercedes

Model: Mercedes Mercedes Various
Part: Antifreeze coolant

Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to check the coolant level on a Mercedes vehicle: first, it is important to open the coolant reservoir cap only when the engine is cold. This is because heat tends to increase pressure, and the liquid could "spurt" out. Once opened, check the colour, density, and level between the minimum and maximum marks indicated on the tank.

Ensure there is no oil mixed with the coolant, as this could indicate a leak within the engine due to a failing head gasket. If some coolant is missing, add more, but it must be the same colour as the liquid in the tank.

If the level is very low, there may be a leak, and it is advisable to check the entire cooling circuit of your vehicle.
