Om606 in a s124 with a 210coolant reservoir.
I'm planing on using the coolant tank from a w210 wich has an overflow hose. That one is normally connected to either the radiator or the top radiator housing I'm I right?
Well my 606.962 engine does not have that connection on the top radiator connection housing and neither has my radiator.
I have seen some images of 606 engines with the connection on the top radiator hose housing, can I just drill and put a 90degre bend on the housing and attach the hose and I'll be fine?
Or should I connect it to the temp sensor adapter on the top radiator hose?
In the picture below there is a connection beside the top radiator connection.

I intend to do this also.
Installed:
OM606/722.6, big IC, W220 brakes.
Planned:
DIY manifold, compound, 722.6 controller, built IP.
[i]Less rust.. [/i]
It's to let out steam bubbles so do top hose fitting or drill out the housing like you say, both will work fine, the latter for a more OEM look.

The stock OM 606 radiator has the fill in the bottom of the radiator tank. This is for a reason, as you fill the system the air rises. You want to fill from the bottom up. Tee into your heater return on the thermostat housing, fill till get comes out of the upper radiator hose. Connect hose and fill till it comes out of the head outlet to the heater. Other wise you will be chasing air in the system for ever.
