Grant,
You might consider adding WaterWetter. I read about it on a MB list. They
are very very picky about what they put in their cars. There are severe
consequences if the new MB does not use the proper pH anti freeze. I forget
the consequences.
But, WaterWetter works according to them. I have not had a need for this
but it would be one of the first things I would try after making sure the
mechanical things were OK.
