Progressive coolant leak on my 2012 W204 Mercedes C63 getting worse and worse till it got to a point where I would have to carry a spare container of coolant around.
Thought it would be a simple fix by just replacing the drain bung but turned out to be the complete side plastic housing that needed to be replaced.
Initially I got a quote of $900 for a new radiator and that is without installation costs ontop of that, found a specialized radiator repair shop that were able to replace the side housing for only $80.
As you may have noticed I replaced the blue Mercedes coolant with Pink Toyota coolant, this is due to the pink coolant crystalizing and forming a sort of visual seal once a leak arises and thus making it easier to spot, this is what ive used : https://amzn.to/3T8zODK
