a little more than a month ago, my german angmo chia plastic coolant connector snapped, the plastic was brittle like biscuit

coolant sprayed on top of the hot exhaust manifold/turbocharger, steam gushing out from the gap around the bonnet like a steam locomotive

stim....

car was 2 years 11 months old (110,000km) when that happened

 

 

My mercilee last time also like this. Had the alert in the dash to show low coolant. Immediately I pulled into a carpark and waited for a tow. The temps had not yet risen.
