W205 Today I tackled this as it would appear I had coolant leaking from underneath the car and warning on dashboard and when you looked around by the fuel filter housing and the egr cooler there was a build up clearly showing however I've fitted the new redesigned model can only fit two bolts as isn't slots for all three. However I took it for a test drive after refilling with coolant and now it appears the dashboard warning has came back on yet again? Any ideas or suggestions to what's happening?
That's correct only 2 bolts needed as they mount it too the head. Maybe do a pressure test and make sure there isn't a leak else where? Only other thing is the egr cooler that side or you just have an air lock and needs topping up
Hello there mate great video 👍🏼 ! I have the same engine and it tells me to top up coolant every around 2 months ! You reckon this could be the issue ? Thanks in advance
Hi brother. Great video. Do we need to apply silicone on the rubber seal before putting it back in the position? Thanks

Most common leak and sometimes it's burns the water and evaporates before it leaks so it's more of a visual check
Thanks for replying mate appreciate that I’ll have to get it proper checked !
Was that your issue, same as yourself, I need to top up sometimes.
Hi think mine is leaking is this an expensive job to do
Hello I think the total cost with dealer parts and labour was about £450 that's including 3 hours labour

Left hand side of the engine on the plastic air inlet pipe near the turbo front of the engine 5 pin multi plug
Oo under the air filter ?
Hello when that coolant leak there is chance the head gasket is damaged???
Hello. Not unless you have run the engine with a long period without coolant
