[diesel_mercedes] Re: Fixing the gycol fog & Klimko with water leaks. Connections to the heater core.

 



While what you say is OK if you want a band aid it won't fix the drip. That is
on the right side and happens when the car is sitting in the rain not running or
running. What I really want to know is how to fix the heater core connections.
I don't think the heater core is leaking. I think the connections to it are
leaking. I was told o rings are the problem. Is that true? Has anyone fixed
this problem? I once had a Ford Taurus with this problem. Sent it to the
dealer. They replaced the heater core for 800 plus dollars. Drove out of the
dealer and the fog/steam kept coming out of the vents. Drove back in and the
mechanic fixed it in by tightening the hose clamp that was bad in the first
place. So it's not always the core and it was an expensive lesson. Lawrence

In the engine compartment; you’d be taking the heater core out of the loop.  Bill in Oregon

Lawrence,

 

As a temporary patch until you can do a proper fix, disconnect one of the hoses and connect it where the other one is connected.  

 

I have done this on other vehicles, but not on a MB.

 

It will leave you cold but will get rid of the glycol and the drip.

I have a leak in my vent/heater core system which Alumiseal didn't fix. What is
the procedure to fix the leaks under the dash? Can it be done without removing
the dash. I also have a Klimko system which halfway works. I get plenty of hot
air but can't cool it down. It does get rid of the fog but I do need heat. We
can smell the antifreeze so it's damaging our brain cells. Can I at least get
to the o rings without tearing the dash out? To add to the problem I have a
water leak on the right side dripping from the dash on to my ankle when I'm the
passenger. I even have fog in the speedometer casing. Lawrence Rhodes........
