So the S55 is coming along. Trunk fixed, tires replaced, belts replaced, engine cleaning well on its way. New engine cover will be picked up Monday.
So the main issue I am having right now is the coolant system is not build pressure. It was at one point, I thought it might have been the cap so I switched out the cap from my S430 and put the one from the S55 and the one from the S55 on the S430. Drove the S430 around it had a ton of pressure. Left the S55 running for over a hour with the S430 cap no pressure built up.
I had the S55 out on the road yesterday(with it's cap) same no pressure in the system. The drive was 59 km or 36 miles. The coolant is going somewhere. The oil level is always the same. I did remove the engine oil filler cap and there was a little bit of steam present. My gauge on the dash is saying 80ºC ish but my X431 is saying 100ºC see PDF
I did like Kraut56 mentioned and ran my overflow hose into a water bottle empty. So the coolant is going some were.
One other odd thing if i turn the key to the position where all the dash lights come on but the car is not running I here all kinds of liquid moving around behind the radio. I am still getting the Oil Level Visit Workshop. I can clear it but keeps coming back. I need to find where this sensor is as it was the first warning I got when the belt broke.
You want to know the real kicker about this car. Not sure if I really want to bring it up or admit. I was cleaning my computer of data cards and AutoChecks I had accumulated on the cars I was checking out. I had an extra DATA CARD from this S55. So I went to place it in the folder with all the DATA CARDS and my Mac said do you want to replace the or keep both. I looked at the date on the one in the folder it was from Nov 2014. I bought the car I started the thread on in Nov. I never thought of checking the VIN against other VINs when I bought it. As I did not buy it from the car lot I look at it on. Feel like just an idiot. I thought I checked everything. Thought I did my do diligence, asked all questions, got people opinions and so, but overlooked the most obvious.
You guys can laugh or say whatever you think. I just really need to figure out this coolant issue now and really need help.
I do appreciate help and I really hate asking now after the above.
