Thank you.You can add just normal water. Sometimes new Mercedes want more oil or coolant during the first year.
Check from owners manual where is maxium level for coolant (in coolant tank) and add water. If it takes more than 5-6 dl so maybe it leaks. You will see it if car wants more coolant after adding it (for example during next month).
Hello, have you solved this problem? If so, how?I have a warning to add coolant, refer to owners manual. In there it says take it to a dealer. Surely this is something I can do myself? Is it just water or is there something special required?
I did take it to the dealers and they said they would have to check it and could not let me take it away. I waited about an hour and they returned it. Apparently they had topped up some coolant. Since then, it has been fine and that was nearly 10,000 miles agoHello, have you solved this problem? If so, how?
They probably topped it up bit also did a quick visual to see if there was an obvious leak.I did take it to the dealers and they said they would have to check it and could not let me take it away.

You better let your dealer check more carful ly again. I have a EQC400 myself, and have a add coolant warning three times within one and half year after I buy it. Because the coolant warning, I have change the electric machinery three times, one front twice back. many EQC owner in my region have this problem,"add coolant warning", it's because coolant leakage, some of them have cause short circuit and become serious issue.I have a warning to add coolant, refer to owners manual.

Drive system battery - Tells me not to drive the vehicle but Merc UK could only book me in tomorrow and told me to keep driving the car.Which battery the high tension or the 12v? Did you look at the coolant level to see where it was at?
Do update us and commiserations. Had my car a year now and it is overdue it’s service due to a delay in the garage having an appt to do it. It goes in next week. But there have been no problems for me but I feel for those who do have issues, these cars are by no means cheap and we are entitled to expect trouble free motoring.Drive system battery - Tells me not to drive the vehicle but Merc UK could only book me in tomorrow and told me to keep driving the car.
Is what it is. Hopefully not related to the chinese recall
100% agree! I am hopeful it is just an airlock in the system which is the reason for the low coolant. It's low, not excessively but visibly and enough to throw the sensor.Do update us and commiserations.

So - I finally got around to popping into a Mercedes Dealership. I'm bang between Chichester and Brighton so it's a little annoying as I tend to travel North, not east or west most of the time.Do update us and commiserations.

I had several coolant low messages recently on my EQB 300. Once when slowing down fast on a downhill slip road, and several times when moving off my sloped drive. I went to the dealership and they checked it into their workshop for 45 minutes, and when they took the cap off the reservoir they said it was fine and to the correct level and did not need to top it up. This was several weeks ago. It has not happened since.So - I finally got around to popping into a Mercedes Dealership.

Anyway - Popped into the Chichester dealership who gave me a bottle of their finest, on the house. Got home, let the car cool down and opened the coolant tank to top it up - low and behold the level rose on its own and since has been no more warning. Air lock confirmed?
In any case, I have a spare bottle of coolant should it ever need it.
On a side note - try as I might, I couldn't for the life of me locate a Min and/or Max level indicator on the reservoir.
