If you have had to add water many times, you need to find where it is going! Sounds like the engine is now trying to run on a mix of fuel and water, hence the chugging. Have the cooling system pressure tested. Should show where the water is going. This way you are starting with a known problem- cure that and the chugging might go away!

It's not good to continue to drive an overheating car. Now it sounds like it's getting worse....
You should probably get this taken care of before it gets real expensive...... Any car this can be costly, with a Benz you can triple or quadruple the price
