    Hi there I guess the young man at Mercedes left the lid off and they said there was a bubble
    They did fix it because of human era and the message went away
    So grateful for your channel

    Very good informative video. Thanks for sharing. Helped to cover the thermostat part. i have 2010 ML550, ans got P0128 code, just wanted to know if i should check coolant sensor before going for coolant thermostat?/where exactly this sensor is located? If i can have a diagram or picture to locate it so that i can replace it. Appreciate your help!"

    Very helpful! I'm planning to use a similar reservoir in a project and I was wondering how to turn a custom light on when the reservoir gets too low. Since I need to turn a light on when resistance becomes infinite, I'm thinking of using a relay or MOSFET that is normally on, and using the level sensor as the switch line. So when there is coolant, it will turn the light off. Coolant drops too low, relay returns to normal state of on, and turns on the light. My only concern is passing current through the coolant. As long as I put the relay on the positive line to the sensor leads, I should be fine and not cause electrolysis, right? Thanks for any thoughts!

    Hello from Germany.
    Cool Videos and very good explained.
    Is this Switch working the Opposit way AS the one from Mercedes W211???
    The W211 one is in closed Position, when the Reservoir is empty and when it is full, the Switch is Open and the current runs trough the resistor.
    The ML - SWITCH Looks Like to be closed when the Reservoir is full and Open when it is empty.
    Am i right?!?
    Thank you and sorry for my english.

    I have a 2012 S550 W221 and have replaced the resiover tank due to coolant leaks. Now I have the tube on top of the manifold with a T broken and infront of the engine as welll. Very brittle and believe they are going to intercoolers. Im not a professional mechanic and can provide any needed information or pictures. Can I get help to buy the right parts and best way to replace ? Happy to pay for your time. What is the best way to communicate ? I couldn't find a button on you tube to send a PM

      Yes those parts should fit. However there might be slight differences in the bumper. For example beck up sensors may be on one and not the other. Etc.

    • @iRepairAutos
      @iRepairAutos  Před 4 lety +1

      How much oil? It means that your oil cooler/coolant cooler (same unit) has an internal leak. Most likely the gasket is gone. I have a video on this: czcams.com/video/o1CPtsoGHFk/video.html
