otosan (E220 W124 M111) is sick.... :(
the car has overheats recently before he stop using it. he told me that only the coolant is leaking... but its actually alot more than that...
i then replaced the leaking hose and water bottle so i can drive it to the mechanic... then i asked them to pull the engine apart and found more damage than i thought. time for rebuild :(
the water reserve sensor cracked and i used putty to sealed it temporarily so i can drive it to workshop
run the car idle for 15min and it leaks water from somewhere
bottom hose of the reservoir tank split and sprayed mist and steam
engine bay shot
front shot
the return hose for the top filler coolant bottle also leaked. i used sylicon sealet to sealed it until i can source replacement parts...
corroded :(
crank shaft being cleaned and inspected
bottom block being cleaned
engine bay... empty
corroded and leaking radiator... minor leaks but will get wrost.
fly wheel is still good but the clutch is gone, so i ordered new one.
the bore have some wear and tear damage. can be resleeve
piston still good. will need new rings tho...
cylinder 3 and 4 have the most severe water damage.
