Drained coolant out of my car it was green. Got new coolant from Benz and it's pink!? They said they only have the one kind for all cars.

Is that true? Should it be pink not green?

Thanks

 

I had the same question a while ago, I went ahead and put the pink in and everything is fine.

 

Same here. Green in tank. Pinkish going in.

 

pink is fine.

 

WEIRD! mines was ever so slightly brownish tinted coming out and same color in the bottle they sold me, can you post the part # for ref.?

 

Weird!!! Where did the green come from if pink is all they have?

 

Looks like someone just got there HE!!

 

Mine was just clear. I used water.

 

Gatorade is better

 

pink is better since our cars is all alum.
In warm area you can use water with water wetter added. Do not use pure water as the seals need to be lubricated.

 

MB used to use BLUE coolant at one point. My moms 2005 c240 has blue coolant and it's NEVER been serviced until I drained it a few weeks ago. Crazy stuff.

My car had brownish/greenish coolant...now it has pinkish/orange.

 

That is what mine looked like going in and coming out when I changed the coolant.

 

MB uses blue from the factory. If it is blue that means it has never been changed!

 

Heres the P#, and a picture of the color before the 50/50 mix.

 

Holy smokes that means 5 years and no coolant change lol. I better do brake fluid change too ASAP

 

Hows the process coming along bro?

 

Brake fluid should be done every 2 years or 20K. These are incredible brake systems and need their proper maintenance.

 

Late post here, guessing you already got all the info you need, but the color of coolants change often. Just a marketing thing. As long as its not looking black or sludge colored you are fine. Changing is CRITICAL.

 

Thanks guys. Funny a friend just did his coolant change and his coolant color was blue. I got mine from the same dealership and was pink. (Both had Identical part numbers).

 

Our mercedes uses a light pinkish almost clear antifreeze, who ever filled up your car last time used the wrong coolant. This is the new color from the dealer, however the stock coolant that our cars came with was blue.

 

Done, heres a few pix Dont want to start a new thread lol

 

****ing rights man! let's go for a boot!

 

god damn rain :@... no worries, well be in touch, just hoping for some sun soon lol cant believe June is around the corner, and it still feels like winter.

 

Blue it's now officially blue. They no longer carry pink. Last time I did my coolant was in 2010. Coolant was pink. Changed my coolant today and the MB HEAD PARTS ADVISER told me himself that there was a upgrade in the coolant. It went from blue to pink. Keep in mind IF YOU DID A JOB IN YOUR CAR THAT INVOLVED LOOSENING COOLANT HOSE(which means a little coolant will leak. IT IS OK TO ADD THE BLUE COOLANT ONTO THE PINK ONE. No harm at all

 

I just bought MB Coolant the other day for my customers car and it was blue? Are they switching to back to pink like Audi? I thought they just switched to blue a while ago?

EDIT
OOOOPS Maybe i should read the whole thread and look at dates before I post
