I agree a flush & new collant is inorder
I thought he did it
He mentioned coolant but I guess he meant he topped it
Still the resovoir was half.

Maybe its good he didn't change coolant til we figure if the radiator has a problem or the water pump or whatever as it would be a waste

Coolant did not look good to me
I've never seen things floating in it...blue green gunk

I am thinking someone may have thrown in a sealer
probably the curbstoner if I can imagine.

I just want to know its running ok with no danger of ka plunk.
Guess it takes time to get confidence in it
& so far it has been giving me some headaches & scares


Spoke to MB
Gave him all the details
He said if it doesn;t go much above 100
there is no danger
He said as for the cool res it hadn't circulated
He says it probably wouldn;t circulate until it was driven
but it was 100...so he says drive it & see
Next time he says flush the radiator & add coolant

The car is intimidating

What about no radiator cap?
MAybe thats a Euro design
If so is this the radiator with the weak neck?
Maybe it should be changed?
