Motor oil???

FIRST OFF THIS WHOLE IF THERE IS WHITE CREAMY GUNK IN YOUR FILLER CAP OR DIPSTICK IS AN URBAN LEGEND TRUE THIS CAN BE A SIMTOM (SORRY CRAP SPELLING) BUT IT CAN ALSO BE CAUSED BY MIXING ENGINE OILS AS THEY NEARLY ALL USE DIFFERENT DETURGENTS IN THERE OIL
I WOULD HAVE TO SAY LOSING WATER OR OIL MORE THAN USUAL +STEAM COMING FROM YOUR EXHUAST ALONG WITH WATER BUT THAT WOULD BE MORE AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP ALSO CONTINUED OVER HEATING AS BLOWN HEAD GASKETS TEND TO LEAVE AIR POCKETS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM
ALSO POOR OR RETARDED COMPRESSION SHOWING WHEN ENGINE UNDER STRAIN
THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE THE CAR TO A REGISTERED MECHANIC AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT DON'T JUST GUESS BECAUSE WE TOLD YOU IT WAS SO AS WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE CAR AND CAN ONLY GUESS OURSELVES THE COST OF REPAIR FOR A FORD KA IS AROUND £1200 I KNOW MINE JUST BLEW

Loud whistling noice... what's wrong with my car?

The most tell tale sign of a Head Gaket is Antifreeze in your oil. There are other signs also like thick white smoke from exaust, and a green tint to spark plugs. Your best bet would to take it to a trusted technician to check it out. There are a lot of tests that can be done to determine if that is the problem. It depends on the car but head gaskets are generally a very costly repair. I would determine the worth of the car based on the price of the repair and go from there.

Does anyone know of an inexpensive scan tool to reset the engine light on a 1995, C280 Mercedes?

take it to a mechanic that you can trust to have a look at it, it may be some thing small such as a leaking water pump or a stuck thermostat, its not common for this engine to give head problems with out some other under lying fault. This engine is of a very old design and made from cast iron so it very unusual to have head problems unlike more modern car with alloy heads.
