That is a beautiful vehicle. How is it not customized? It is my favorrate head light style and grill style. besides the 1940 and the 1960s. Please excuse the mispellings Im dumb.
If the vehicle is primarily for my wife, it does not get much in the way of customization. 😁 After all, driving a modified car is usually an ordeal - and not for the feint of heart. 😁
Why am I not getting notifications of these videos?! JB weld, I put that stuff on everything. Except hot dogs, but they are gross anyway. JB weld has a 6 min set time product. I buy my local ace hardware out just for personal stock. The temp raiting and expansion is gaugaged high. I put this stuff on a neighbors 4x4 side by side with a crack on its engine block. It ran for the 3 years i drove it with him. If I buy stock it would be in JB weld. You can sand it smooth, drill a screw in it , paint and bondo adhears to the stuff.
I actually just did the same thing. Not make a new one, but barley bumped it snapped off. I actually ordered a part, and it came with the connector attached to the new line. Unfortunately, it's not even where the leak was coming from. In your experience, do those metal clips pop off, and you just insert a new connector/ line since it's 1 piece with connectors on each side. 1 goes to the overflow 1 to where it cracked off. Any info would help. We do have a mechanic set to replace the radiator if needed. Anyway, any information would help thx Logan
If I am understanding your question, are you asking about the metal clip that holds the plastic connector to the engine side? If so, you can take a small screwdriver and gently pry that clip off, pop the new connecter in, and then reinsert the metal clip. I apologize if I am not accurately interpretating your question. You can also reach me on Instagram at @tankmouseproductions - if that would be an easier way to correspond. Sorry you are having issues with your car!
Sorry for the late response. It pulls up from the top. You can gently insert a small flat-head screwdriver under the top of the clip and gently prior it off. Or, if that does not work, you can use needle nose pliers and gently wiggle it off - again pulling it from the top. If you have any further questions, please feel free to type them here. Or, you can contact me directly on Instagram.
@@TankMouseProductions I got it! It was simpler than I thought but with your tip I was more confident to put more force on it. After having that adapter break off, I didn't want to be too rough on it 😂. Anyways I got a replacement part from Mercedes and quickly got it fixed now. Thanks for your quick reply!
@@Chinoam3 That is great news. I am super glad that you got it sorted! I definitely recall that sick feeling in my stomach when I saw that silly thing break. 🙄
@@TankMouseProductions I was surprised that you explained how it broke off almost exactly how it happened to me too. If only they have the adapter out of a harder material.
I have the same issue. Seems like everything is very brittle. Do you just pop clip off with a flat head, and the connector should come out? I just bought a new line, and it came with the connectors attached to the line
Yes, that broken part in the picture went into the engine. Where could it have gone? To the radiator, to the water circulation system, to the thermostat. How does the system work?@@TankMouseProductions
Thank you so much. My problem solved.
Super glad that you found it helpful!

The exact thing happened to me just today. I can't for the life of me figure out how to undo the clip connecting to the engine tho.

That broken piece went inside, is there a problem, where does it go?
I am not sure what to tell you. Are you saying that there is a piece that somehow broke off and circulated back through the engine?

@@oguzhangunen6973 I am new enough to this car that your guess is as good as mine. Hopefully, we can get another reader to submit a comment here!
Same thing happened to me. Now I carry a backup
My hose looks different tho. 🙂↕️😫 maybe because it’s a salvage car. 😅😅😅 I’m running out of ideas but I’m gonna order that part
Best of luck with the car! And, thank you for commenting!
