[diesel_mercedes] Re : Coolant Flush

 


The block drain plug is a 17MM hex plug directly behind the exhaust down pipe , it's a stinker to remove but yes , I suggest removing it when you flush .

Be aware there's a thin crush washer it needs , this washer likes to go ! POING ! and disappear into the 12th universe , never to be seen again .
