1. if you have green coolant, it is the wrong one. Drain and flush and replace with Zerex G05 coolant gold colored.
2. post photo of how he bypassed the heater core.
3. Mobil 1 Synthetic 0W-40, and fleece filter.

Mercedes no longer makes the brown/gold coolant the W163 originally came with...

I got to know this from the local dealer...they now only supply the new blue coolant..and since it is supposed to have better characteristics than the original brown/gold one...they said, it is perfectly okay to put in all older Benz's..
