1995- 850 wagon- non-turbo.
OK...the car smells like anti-freeze, but there is NO fluid under the mats...I think that it is weeping from the core and not enough to 'flood' (I think...I know nothing). I cannot find any leaks under the hood...
Put the heat on, even slightly, and you are blown away by the smell.
What else should I check?
Now, let's assume that I need a core. I will NOT be doing this myself...no time...getting too cold outside.
I have a small shop in town (no dealers around) that is an expert Mercedes shop...he is willing to do the job.
What info can I provide to help with a fool-proof job (ie: I don't want the dash to creak / squeek afterwards...are there any 'extra' parts that need replacing while doing this job? Things that only soomeone who has done this realizes should have been replaced)...
I will have him also do the A/C evaporator.
