Lemme pick a few wrong assumptions.
1. Overfilling the radiator coolant wont make the hose burst, this is because this engine regulates the coolant by itself to the normal level and discharges the excess
2.If you drive that engine( M111.955) and all the coolant leaks out the engine will shut down at a certain temperature in order to protect it and prevent any harm to the top cylinder or engine.

It is either you have the wrong engine or your engine has been so kazeemized that all those features dont function anymore.Best bet is to buy another engine which i think you have done but you see that engine in that picture? smiles.......e get as e be.Well hope your car is fine now.

Thanks for your reply. The new engine has been installed and all seem fine with the car now.

Lots of things has gone wrong.
Check for crack in your engine block and top cylinder. Also check for warpage on the mating surface.
The easiest option is replacing your engine.
OK sir

Good day gentlemen.please I need suggestions/help or guidance from the forum urgently. So I over filled m coolant way past the max level of my c230 kompressor (my fault which I do regret) just a day I was to go on a very long journey and bearly hours into the journey the lower hose bursted then I got the CHECK COOLANT MESSAGE but didn't stop cause it was a forested area (north).after driving to a safe place I got the hose fixed with the help of a ers-by. In summary, the top gasket was blown and I had the car towed to a benz mechanic who changed one of the piston cause it was FRIED. Took 2days to fix and I continued my journey. Along the road I noticed the care started shorting oil cause I kept getting the ADD 1.5ltr msg like 3 time so on my way coming back I branched same Mech place to lay my complain and he said it's some nut that wher loose and has tightened them. I also noticed milky stuff inside the radiator tank and he said it was from the last blown gasket and oil was inside the radiator which is the one coming out and I should get the radiator flush when I get to my destination. Half way through the journey coming back my car overheated at almost Same place again and the gasket was blown again. Hade it towed to my destination to a benz Mech and he said the FISRT mechanic did a mistake of not changing the whole ring and all. So the rings and the while top cylinder was change since he said the oil one is bad due to excessive heat. After the whole work and the vehicle has started and have been using it for a while now the car is having many problems. Th3 first I notice was that the car smokes atimes ( white smoke I thing cause it's jot always visible) which I took to th3 Mech and he said it's the oil that resided in the exhaust system from the last blown gasket and it will storm when it has burn out but this like over a month and it still smokes. Secondly, there is presence of oil in my coolant tank and on two occasion I hade the coolant rant and the entire radiator system flushed but still there's presence of oil floating on top the coolant and the walls of the tank. Just normal oil, not the milky type and the excuse the Mech gave was same that it's from the last time and it will come out gradually. On 2 occasions he had to put detergent inside the collar tank that it will take are of it but still I haven't seen any improvement. Again my coolant is getting short without any visible leak and no presence of coolant in the engine oil( I just changed the oil today after changing 2 weeks ago. Thirdly, my engine gets excessively overheated that I can't drive for 2 hours straight SOMETIMES. The fan (automatic not direct)is running fine, no thermostat, enough coolant. I took the car to another benz Mech and told him all the noticed symptoms and he told me to change the coolant switch which was Dame ed by the previous mechanics which I did but still the over heating persists. He was suggesting I run the fan direct to help with the overheating which I declined. On my way from the Mech shop after oil change the CHECK COOLANT warning came up twice which I hade to stop for like 20mins. The first time I stopped and check before opening the tank it looked empty then when I tried opening the cap with caution I noticed the pressure from the radiator and the water started coming out ( like boiling) so after allowing it to cool I did little top up . The 2nd time the tank was half empty and I did a top up. So on gett8ng home I called the Mech and he said the best solution is to just get a new engine. Please I need your suggestions, help, contribution, advice. I forgot to add that according to the Mech, my coolant is boiling which isn't supposed to be

*SPEED IS DANGEROUS AND KILL*

I have many stories on the issues if speeding but I will share my most recent the January on my 2004 c230 kompressor. Compared to my former ride a 2004 EOD, th3 benz is a on a league of its own. You comfortably do 140-160kph without even realizing it on a good road. My recent was from Bauchi to yola, Adamawa state same day I arrived Bauchi from abuja at about 3pm. For those who knows th road, the journey should cover at least 5-6 hours on a commercial vehicle. So I left Bauchi ( Winti market) around almost 4:30 and I wanted to beat the bad road before darkness so I was doing my steady 120-140 kph and it was amazing and sweet how I was ing cars am sure left bauchi for Gombe/adamawa before me. I could see the tiredness in the eyes of the angers as I slow down to maneuver potholes or speed off to overtake and I was feeling myself in my newly acquired old benz 😂 and any car/ vehicle I ed OTI LO be that. It was getting boring not until before LAWANTI I meet a BMW (325i I think) and the spirit came unto us both. The guy was so keen on not allowing me him. From my speedometer I could see that I am already over 170kph and the way the guy was just swerving on the road dodging potholes anyhow, I just gave myself sense and allowed him to lead while I follow causiously still maintaining our speed of 140-175kmph at intervals till we got to welcome to gombe. That road has a spirit of its own my people. A sweet smooth 4 lane dual carriage road that spans over 5km if not more than that. For some reason the BMW just piped down and we both honed at each other for a farewell. From bauchi to gombe is 2hrs 40min drive but I was in Bauchi (rainbow roundabout) at 6:18pm that's approx 1hr 40mins. Unfortunately, my radiator got faulty amd my car overheated between adamawa and Gombe and I couldn't get to my destination same day. Overall, it was a sweet risky experience

Please am confused about something. Someone suggested a benz c240 to me and was telling me that the engine is a 4cyl type amg from my little research I got to see that the engine in the car is a 1.8l supercharged or say kompressor engine. Also ml from research I neva saw anywhere that the c240 has such type of engine so am confused if the engine was changed or am not understanding what it is
