Pictorial on Cooling System Citrus Flush

Hello all,

I just finished up the pictorial on how to do the cooling system citrus flush. It droped my overall engine temp over 10 degrees. Really has helped in the summer heat.

Hope it helps you all!

No it wont cause any leaks. Its a very weak solution as an acid goes. As long as you dont keep it in there for says some weeks then its prefectly fine and recommended by Mercedes.

Yes the timing chain pictorial is on the horizon.....
