I have a 96 e230 and the expansion tank on top of the radiator exploded causing damage to the bonnet of the car. I was stuck in traffic and noticed that the temp was running a high (just below the red ). I was hoping to pull off but it went before I had a chance.
Has anyone had this problem or any idea why the expansion tank would blow in half. I'm more annoyed about the damage to the bonnet as it looks like I will have to get a replacement.
