Not sure if this relates, but now I have no heat/circulation getting to the heater core lines. ?
Large diam hoses are HOT but smaller ones are not. Engine temps according to dash gauge reads normal temp's.
The circulation pump is running, I can hear it.
Does this sound like a thermostat issue? or water pump?
Or what?
Thanks.
It's not "diesel" coolant per se. The Cummins was fine on green. The metallic composition of these specific Mercedes diesel blocks or heads (not sure which) is what demands the "special" antifreeze.
