I had a noticeable amount of coolant disappearing, not leaking out of vehicle. Car stalled while driving. Never started again. I took it to a euro mechanic and he noticed my oil was very full and the consistency of water. They stopped there. Charged me 0 dollars and suspected the motor block was cracked. They said they see it all the time.
I called Mercedes two different times - they said a cracked block is highly unlikely. Probably my oil cooler had failed and seal is warped. Took in for 2nd opinion at Mercedes dealership. 400 dollars for them to tell me there was rust in my engine. Never told me what the problem was or what caused it. I sold the car for 1700 and will never buy a Mercedes again. There were so many unsavory things about this car. The interior didn't hold up anywhere. Had weird electrical glitches, ignition problems. And nobody will touch them except the brave, or very smart. And there is not a abundance of them around.
