This is the flushing technique that I'm planning on using.
I will have to run my car with about a 60/40 ratio of antifreeze/water, because it frequently gets below -40C here in the winter. Mercedes dealer here actually recommends it be run at that ratio. |
Mercedes states that their cars meet 'specs' at 80C min. I'm sure your car has the same spec. At 80C and above it should meet emission, and all other specs.
The fact that your car is running 90C on just water most likely means that something isn't right. By all means, do the flush (that's some flush as detailed by bhdoctor) and see what happens. What have you got to loose but some time and a few $$.
Looking forward to how it works.
