Mercedes-Benz Vehicles, Concept Cars, and the Mercedes Lifestyle

It’s easy to keep on top of things like oil changes and burt out headlights on your Mercedes. However, there are some basic maintenance items you need to think about. In addition to checking your tires, listening for noises, watching for pools underneath your vehicle and generally being aware of what’s going on, there are some things under the hood you should check.

You should check your radiator cap every now and again. A bad cap usually won’t lead to a severe problem, but it will cause a loss of coolant and drips on your garage floor.

To check your Mercedes radiator cap, you need to start when the engine is cold. Remove the cap, and look carefully at the seal. Is the seal deformed? Are there cracks in the seal? If so, it’s simply a matter of purchasing a replacement cap and putting it on.
