You're going to need a new retaining clip as one of ears on that one is missing. With a new one, a retaining clip pliers will make work easier.
Also, your coolant shouldn't be green like that. I hope that you're flushing it out to replace with pre-mixed Zerex G5 coolant, or concentrated G5 mixed 50/50 with distilled water.
if I remember correctly, this clip is maintaining the coolant level probe.
The probe goes into the coolant expansion tank through the hole just below the clip on your picture, and is locked by the circlip.
The clip is broken, you need another one.
And what you need to put it back is a circlips plier like this one https://www.amazon.com/Bastex-Retai...6&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=circlips+pliers&psc=1
thanks guys
that was the old expansion tank
I was in the process of installing the new one
after that project is complete I will replace my old stock muffler with an OEM replacement
Thank god its spring,let the car projects begin
You should replace the rubber seal at the same time. Get MB coolant from the dealer. It's concentrate. Mix 50/50 with distilled water. Consider flushing the system first if it hasn't been done in a while. There's a good article on Pelican Parts I think.
I know I'm a bit late for this discussion, but I replaced my coolant level indicator recently when it remained on even though overflow tank was well over the mark - the man said the old (original) one would be 'gunked up' (technical term) and a new one is not expensive so bought new one. (Old one was 'gunked up'). I tried to fit new one without circlip pliers. Tried everything and finally gave up and bought cheap circlip pliers from local hardware store. Did the job in a flash. Might not use the pliers again for a long time but they were worth the $20.
guys
I have another question
the AUX fans - should they both come one? only one of my AUX fans engage (the passenger side fan)
I assume one is for the AC - is this a correct assumption (AKA a Fact)
I guess so
Im disengaging from politics and focusing on enjoying life.
