Hi,

Hello,
i have just brought a is220d on a 57 plate its got 155k on the clock it’s got full services history and other paperwork after I got home and started going through the paperwork I found something that has worried me and now makes me think I am going to be throwing money at it
on a service last year there is a warning of checking the water levels cos the radiator has anti-freeze stain and the other warning turbo propeller got play and soot round the turbo.
my partner has looked round the turbo and can’t see soot,
whats is people opinion on this?? I am going to try and look for a honest garage to give this the once over and check the turbo
i have attached a photo on the sheet that has this on
I will appreciate any info on this
thanks

Hello,
i took it for a service last week got a good clean bill of health a few little things to do but it’s normal wear.
Anti-freeze....got told to just add water to the anti freeze has it’s a little strong (covered to -50) needs diluting down, the bloke at the garage said it looks like it had been over filled and it came out the breather pipe at the side so not to worry about that that’s why I have the stain on the radiator,
turbo.... he said there is no way a service would flag the propeller up has it need to come apart to see but he was happy with it no soot round it nice and quite said nothing to worry about.
only things I have got to see to is:-
rear brake pads are worn 70% so that will be done ready for mot
brake fluid getting ready for a change as it’s abit dark
Battery is the original one from when the car was made (rare for a car with mileage like mine he said) so its weak so a new Battery when it’s giving me problems
so one happy lady was panicking over nothing 😊
