Coolant warning
1 - 15 of 15 Posts
I would take it to the dealer as if you are having to add it there may be a leak somewhere.I have never had to add coolant to my ice cars in over 13yrs of driving various mercedes. Looking at the on line manual it says you can check the level and top up with the approriate water anti freeze mix but advises getting the car checked if the level is below a certain amount.
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 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 ago
They probably topped it up bit also did a quick visual to see if there was an obvious leak.

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.
should let your dealer open the cover plate of electric machinery, and will find coolant leakage everywhere....Hope you are not the same problem....
Doing some research the serious coolant leakage problem did not affect european cars. I have interpreted the information to mean EQC built in China for the Chinese market and the problem maybe related to either a component failure due to poor QC or poor QC on build of the car. Ihave seen no reports of this issue in europe.

First post - Recieved my EQC a couple weeks back. So far 470 miles...
This morning I recieved three warnings.
1) Battery warning
2) No tow
3) Low coolant
Could they be related?

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
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.

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.

I am from China and my wife is a EQA owner, some owner hit coolant leakage problem in our EQA/EQB wechat groups. The electrical motors manufacture by ZF and Beijing Benz declare it was import. I am wonder why only China market hit this critical coolant leakage problem? I think there should be different electrical motors between China and other countries, also Benz not tell China consumer the truth and the sadness was not one support China consumer to get the truth.
Btw, other 8 recalls relate EQC and China was excluded.
Poor Chinese
