1996 C220 - no coolant overflow container???
Hi guys, I just got a 1996 C220 and am prepping to do the usual new-to-me-car service (all the filters, oil, coolant and plugs) and I'm looking around the engine bay and I'm not finding the coolant overflow container anywhere!
The space where it should be according to the internet is - empty?
However, there are no hoses running out of the radiator indicating something is amiss.
Here are two images. One of the top of the radiator, and the other one is where the coolant overflow container "should" be.
If it helps, I'm in the UK.

You car most likely doesnt have A/C. MB used different radiators for cars without A/C (very few build without) so your owners manual would be referring to the most common setup.
In your case you just fill up the radiator.
