doesn't seem too bad.
more complicated than the cooling system in an ICE, but since the rest of the car around it is so simple, it should be easy to work on.
i recently saw a video from legitstreetcars where he had to pull an engine and tranny from his cl65, and disassemble it to the block (not the block itself, just all bolt-ons and heads), just to replace a single faulty o-ring in the coolant system. mercedes, in their infinite wisdom, made it so that taking the manifold off wasn't enough, you also had to remove the heads. he claimed this repair would've cost at least $5k in an independent shop, assuming ofc you found one willing to tackle a big ass biturbo v12. the faulty part itself was $1.
