    Taken from another forum (non E30) but downright scary:



    Read the full thread here:

    Does anyone have a good writeup on how to pull the head on an SOHC inline six? Something akin to the m180 family? I imagine I'll have to crack the

            looks like someone put some standard ethylene Glycol in to a GM filled DEX cool engine. I have only seen that happen once and that was way back in 97-98 when GM 1st was going to Dex.

            Edit: Now that I have read it, WOW I have never seen that happen to standard Glycol before, Wonder if dude was topping off or doing any kind of maintenance and replacing with DEX ?????


            That said I like dex cool, I have the factory back in my truck with 6 years and 79k miles on it, and its only got .12 volt worth of electrolysis built up in it. GOOD SHIT

                thats why we use soft water or distilled water, i bet he had a leak and kept topping it off with well water. thats about the only way that would ever happen

                  It's a mercedes, what do you expect?

                  Is it possible that shit is the residual from having a milkshake in there at some point and not having dealt with it properly?

                      Your not lying. I just had to replace my entire cooling system because of that crap. Who knows whats stuck in the motor. At least it holds dead steady at 175 even in 100 temp.

                      Dont be lazy flush your shit, or pay out the ass.
