Evosport C32s: Why is the plumbing mounted so high on the washer reservoir?

amgstyle: Sorry to see the pixs.
Over the last several years I have over ten pictures similar to yours.
At this time the only fix is to replace it with a new one from MB. I have tried to fix mine several times by using "leak stop"and even epoxing the edges where the core meets the housing.
No sucess.
To make a new design is just too expensive, even doing ten at the time.

I am not here very often anymore, but this time I wanted to post my experiences.
My car is in the MB workshop for exact the same reasons mentioned above (core is leaking). This is not the first time, about a year ago the same problem.
MB is of course blaming the tuning for it.
Seems to be the weak point in the design.

As for symptons :
1 st leak :
When I started the car a big white cloud build up just a few seconds after starting. Engine starting rattling ... switch off and had it pulled to MB.
Intercooler core leaked badly ... replaced
2nd leak :
No white smoke, nothing unuasual on the throttle, just got a message about the coollant level on the screen every couple of days. After a while I had to refill the coolant every 3 days ... time for another intercooler core !
Heck, C63 should solve it all. But I heared that MB might de-tune it from its orginal 500 HP ??? How is detuning done ??
