coolant leak?
Has anyone had trouble keeping coolant in their ml55, I have taken it to my MB dealer for a water pump replacement that was their solution and he said that there are not any other areas he could find showing leakage, yet I am still adding coolant every two to three weeks

headgasket is ok? you could be burning the coolant which would mean bigger problems at hand, does your exhuast smell sweet?

No sweet smell from exhaust, smell of fuel only, coolant smell from interior vents after sitting over night, but not during my daily trips to and from work. I am taking it back to the dealer to have it looked at again. I have been told to check the cap on the coolant reservoir as this can be a problem because it is made of some sort of plastic material. more to come, thanks for reply!
