The Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W204), produced from 2007 to 2014, represented a significant return to form for the brand, prioritizing "bulletproof" build quality and a sharper, more angular design compared to its softer predecessor

Car overheating
Is this a good question?

Hi @craigwilli84880
Have you checked the level of coolant in the radiator is OK?
Is there white smoke emanating from the exhaust when driving indicating a possible head gasket problem?
Are there puddles under the engine when parked indicating a coolant leak?
Are there coolant stains on the engine block or coolant hoses (cracks) etc?
Does the oil on the engine oil dipstick look milky or bubbly, indicating that coolant is mixing with the oil in the engine?
What have you checked?
