I recently got a mail message from Longston with the request whether I wanted to add something to this thread (which I had not read yet, because we do not share the US colors) about the color of the coolant used in europe.

He told me someone from malaysia was talking about blue coolant...and he was wondering whether I could enlighten anyone about that blue color...

Well, I took the time to read most of the posts in this thread and think I will not be able to enlighten anyone!

The color of the MB coolant used in europe is clear/yellow! The coolant has to be mixed with water (50/50) and is slightly yellow colored.
We do have blue colored coolants as well, but that is not subscribed by mercedes (and therefore not used for MB vehicles), but is used for (and subscribed by) volkswagen and opel.

I hope this will not make the coolant color thread more complicated, but....since I was asked to post something about euro coolant...!

greetingz,
