Mercedes A200 CDI, year of manufacture: 2007
Coolant loss occurred for the first time at mileage 230,000. I went to the workshop. Answer: Observe. Water loss has not improved. The water pump was then replaced. So I drove on. Water loss remained. Workshop: Continue to monitor...
I did this for 3!!! years and topped up from time to time. No water in the oil or oil in the coolant. At some point I got fed up and the garage said it could only be the head gasket. But I get a loan car and it costs 1200 euros. It was too expensive for an old A-Class, so I drove on and topped it up. After a 1,000 kilometer drive with a trailer, the time had come. From then on, I had to top up the coolant every day.
Then faced with the choice of scrapping or trying Steel Seal.
Since I need the car (Ackergaulauto because I am renovating a half-timbered house) I was desperate and ordered the product after consulting customer service. (Could work...)
So I applied Steel Seal on May 14, 2022. I left the car overnight and drove a moderate 100 kilometers the next day. Topped up with coolant beforehand, as a little was still lost during the application. I had pure water in it, WITHOUT antifreeze.
I then drove 6 weeks and 1200 kilometers, and he wanted another 0.2 liters refilled. What's small compared to topping up almost every day. Even my neighbors have noticed that I no longer open my hood every day to top up.
Last week, I hit the highway for the first time after 2000 kilometers. I commute between Görlitz and Coburg. That's 370 kilometers. I now know every rest area because I've always had to stop somewhere to top up the coolant for the last 3 years. I drove through last week WITHOUT a refill stop. After 2500 kilometers back on 20.07.2022, that was the hottest day ever. And I left the car running. Highway and full throttle A4. It lost water but I was finally able to drive through. Always had to stop 3 times before. It's probably because I didn't quite reach the engine temperature when I first applied it and the product didn't get everywhere.
The Steel Seal is brilliant. I would recommend it to anyone who has problems with the CCD. I haven't had the problems with the heating mentioned in some forums afterwards. But that's probably because I look after my vehicles.
I am not an advertising partner or influencer. The product is worth the money, especially in seemingly hopeless cases. I have also used competitor products. They do not work.
Absolute recommendation!
I will also recommend it to my friend. He drives a VW Touareg 3.2 TDI.
