How did this not Hydrolock (common failure??) CLS550
2009 CLS550 (~200,000km). A hole blew open in radiator end tank directly into left side intake tube. Engine ran fine just bringing it into the shop but further assesment is needed after replacing the rad and air filters and bringing it up to temp. Is this a common failure point? Local MB dealer said they have not seen it before. My theory is that it was a slow leak, customer reported that it overheated in a parking lot idling and not under load/driving. Also left side air filter may have waterlogged with coolant and air was pulled though right side (single throttle body after filters)

What to do
Slid in the snow today. What’s the damage boys

Don’t forget to change those cabin air filters!
Appears to be original to the car (2011)
Oddly had no foul odour and still allowed air to pass through decently well

Tundra valley plate coolant leak
Not a super common issue in my experience, I have done a couple handfuls over the years. Left a nice puddle on the ground from sitting overnight

Ashamed to admit how long it took us to figure out that this "wire" lodged in the front fender area is just tire cord from when the tire flew apart.

Neon green diesel and it smells like 2 stroke fuel.
Anyone ever seen fuel this color? They’re in for a hesitation problem (maxxforce 7) but I think found the culprit. Smells JUST like rebuilding a 2 stroke carburetor.

Definitely worth saving the 28€ to chnage the wheels.

Presenting GM genius: ECU location? On top of the exhaust manifold!
Unbelievable GM prowess which leads to the bricking (eventually) of any Saab 93 from 03-2011! Master stroke.

C/S: needs new turbo
Got many boost pressure related DTC’s, even with car not running. Previous shop diagnosed bad turbo, turns out to be bad wiring.
