How do you bleed the cooling system after replacing the radiator and coolant on a Mercedes Benz 190e 2.6 89?

Locate the thermostat housing it sits between the fan and engine and has a small hose going to the reservoir of the radiator. To bleed the cooling system you need to remove this hose, start the car and keep filling the reservoir until water comes out of the top of the thermostat housing. With the water jetting out reconnect and tighten this hose. NOTE: Be careful if your housing cover is made of plastic as the small outlet can braek easily if too much pressure is applied while tightning the hose.

How do you bleed the radiator to get air out on a 1987 Mercedes 300E?
In order to "purge" the cooling system, you need to detach the top hose that goes from the thermostat housing to the radiator (detach the end that connects to the radiator). Pour coolant into the hose until it fills halfway and reattach.
Have a small hole in radiator is it worth repairing?
It sure is. Leaking radiator fluid only causes the coolant system to de-pressurize and not effectively cooling all the internal working engine parts. As to repair costs, one needs to evaluate the cost of repairs vs replacing the radiator. If the car is older, then replacing the radiator might be the way to go.

What does the radiator in a car do?
As coolant cycles through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engine, after which, it continues through the cooling system back to the radiator. As the coolant passes through the radiator, the heat is exchanged to the ambient air by way of airflow through the radiator fins (this is why it's important not to bend the radiator fins).
