This head gasket fix for Mercedes diesel?

Would you put this head gasket leak and other cooling system leak product into Mercedes diesel engine?

http://barsproducts.com/1111.htm

Some Bar's cooling system stop leak products are used by GM dealers, according to some people. The above mentioned one, however, is relatively new, and thus I did not hear any good or bad story about it.

It wont destroy your car, but NO!

It will not 'fix' anything. It may buy you some time, according to others.

replace the Headgasket if that is what needs to be done.

Good rule of thumb there is NO magic cure for a messed up head gasket. This rule works well with other things, transmissions for instance or engines.

Thats a good way to "fix" a junker, but if you care even the slightest bit about your car you'll never let that trash near it!

Think about it. If it will seal a turbulent, high pressure headgasket leak what will it do to the calm, slow flow tubes in the radiator?

Fixed my V6 Ranger's headgasket enough to get me 300 miles home (at 7mpg)

It does work! It will plug up the heater core, the radiator, and other small passage areas! Just think, over heating and no heater function, a great way to start or end the day!
